medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Here's one entry from the dreaded CathEn:
St. Nazarius
Fourteenth abbot of the monastery of Lérins, probably sometime during the
reign of the Merovingian Clotaire II, 584-629. He successfully attacked the
remnants of heathendom on the southern coast of France, overthrew a
sanctuary of Venus near Cannes, and founded on its site a convent for women,
which was destroyed by the Saracens in the eighth century. His name is
inscribed on the calendar of saints of the French Church, on 18 November.
Note that he's a saint of the Midi and this mentions nothing of the transfer
of his relics. There's another Nazarius whose info I'll send tout de suite.
