Veredemus

[4] Veredemus settled at Gaul as a hermit, in the valley of the Durance.

[4] A grotto associated with Veredemus is located at the Gorge du Gardon.

[4] Veredemus' hermitage at the gorges of Gardon is the oldest Christian structure in lower Languedoc, dating from 8th century AD.

[4] Veredemus is venerated at Cavaillon, Apt, and Carpentras, and a fête Saint-Vérédème is celebrated at Eyguières.

[5] Until the 1960s, the inhabitants of Sanilhac would make the pilgrimage to Veredemus’ grotto on the Gardon to pray for abundant rain.
