Life

Saint Votrom (also called Vautrome or Autrome) was an abbot of Irish origin who settled as a hermit at Trédarzec in Brittany in the early Middle Ages; the exact century is not known. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, and his commemoration is traditionally on Ascension Day.

He is said to have done much good in the region and to have healed people of fever with elderberry syrup. The chapel of Saint Votrom at Trédarzec is dedicated to him. His veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
