Tujan

Saint Tujan (also Tugen) is a semi-⁠legendary Breton saint of Armorica, said to have lived in the fifth century. He was the son of Arastagn, lord of Cornouaille, who lived in the castle of Kerraouré between Hanvec and Irvillac. Saint Jaoua is said to have chosen him to succeed him as rector of Brasparts.

He is usually shown as a monk with an abbot's crozier, a dog at his feet, since he is invoked against rabies, and a long key at his side. The village of Landujan in Ille-⁠et-⁠Vilaine bears his name. He is patron of the parish of Brasparts, and statues of him stand in many churches of Finistère. From the seventeenth century the clergy tried to replace the veneration of Saint Tugen with that of Saint Eugene, exploiting the likeness of the names. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally.
