Vinebault

Vinebault is a shepherd saint of the 7th century, from Villeneuve-⁠la-⁠Lionne near La Ferté-⁠Gaucher in Brie. His relics were a place of pilgrimage until the French Revolution. He is venerated in the Western Church.

A fine legend tells that he caused a spring to well up. The spring is said to have dried up when, at the time of the Revolution, someone wanted to wash linen in its water in mockery. His local patronal feast is held by tradition fifteen days after Easter, and the day of commemoration in the calendar is 1 April.

The sources say no more about his life; the details are few and come from local tradition.
