Life
Saint Tremorus of Brittany (Trémeur, Tromeur) was a child martyr of the 6th century, patron saint of Carhaix in Brittany. He was the son of Saint Triphina (Triphena), who baptised him against the wishes of his stepfather. He is a saint of the undivided Church.
His baptismal name was Gildas, after Saint Gildas the Wise, and the epithet Trech-meur, "great victory" in Breton, was given to distinguish him from the elder Gildas. He was murdered, while being educated at a monastery in Carhaix, by his stepfather, Count Conmore, who hated Christianity. After her son's murder Triphina retired to a convent and was taught by Gildas the Wise.
He is commemorated on 7 November, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
