Life

Saint Selevan (also called Selyf, Selyr or Levan) was a hermit of the sixth century at St Levan in Cornwall, the place that bears his name. He is said perhaps to have come from Wales to Cornwall. The sources preserve no further details of his life.

He is commemorated on 25 June (and in one list on 8 June) among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.

Commemorated the same day June 25
