Life

Saint Setni was a bishop in Brittany in the 6th and 7th centuries. It is told that Saint Elouan met him on the road and asked him to stay with him for the night, since evening was coming on. The bishop answered that his absence would worry his brothers and asked him instead to prolong the day until he could reach them. Elouan obtained this favor from heaven, and the event was regarded as a miracle. Our sources say nothing else about him.
