Saint Gobain

Born in Ireland, he was a brother of Saint Wasnon, (to whom a church is dedicated in Condé-sur-l'Escaut).

Some accounts have him staying at the Abbey of Saint Vincent in Picardy,[1] or the abbey of Corbény in Champagne,[2] before settling in a hermitage in the forest of Voas, near the present Saint-Gobain.

There he brought forth a spring by thrusting his pilgrim's staff into the ground.

In 670, Gobain was beheaded by marauders, and buried in his oratory, which became a place of pilgrimage.
