[1] Siffredus was a monk in Lérins Abbey before becoming bishop of Carpentras at the beginning of the seventh century.

[1] Religious and popular tradition holds that Siffredus led an austere life and was zealous in his pastoral duties, caring for the poor and exorcising demons.

[1] The traditional date of his death, 27 November, was fixed as his feast day as early as the eleventh century, when his name appears in local martyrologies.

[1] Siffredus’ body was translated sometime before the thirteenth century from Venasque to Carpentras.

[1] His relics were saved from destruction during the French Revolution by a priest in 1793, and are still preserved in Carpentras Cathedral, which is dedicated to him.
