Saint Mitre

Mitre (433–466) was a Catholic saint, who was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, and died in Aix-en-Provence.

[1] According to the legend,[2] Mitre, a field worker living in Aix-en-Provence with Arvendus, was charged with witchcraft for making a miracle come true.

He then picked up his head and took it to a church in Aix, Église Notre-Dame de la Seds.

On 23 October 1383, his relics were moved to the Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur in Aix-en-Provence.

It is said that the right-hand column holding his tombstone had a shining hole in it, giving out a liquid good for curing eye sores.
