Sant Hern

Vallée des Saints.

Ne dirait-on pas un bonze asiatique ? Il vint pourtant de Grande Bretagne comme la plupart des saints Celtiques.
Son culte est lié à un événement survenu après sa mort;
Un cerf acculé par une meute de chiens vient se coucher sur sa tombe. Les chiens furent alors comme frappés d’immobilisme. Les chasseurs parvenus près du cerf virent leurs chevaux s’immobiliser eux aussi. Ce n’est qu’après avoir laissé partir le cerf que tous retrouvèrent l’usage de leurs membres.
Le comte qui menait la chasse l décide alors de construire une église sur ce lieu. Au moment de la construction, une nuée d'oiseaux construit un dôme à l'emplacement de la tombe du saint.


Doesn’t he look like an Asian monk? Therefore he came from Great Britain like most Celtic saints.
His cult is linked to an event that occurred after his death;
A deer cornered by a pack of dogs comes to rest on its grave. The dogs were then struck by immobility. The hunters who arrived near the deer also saw their horses stop. It was only after letting the deer go that all regained the use of their limbs.
The Earl who led the hunt then decided to build a church in this place. At the time of construction, a flock of birds built a dome on the site of the saint’s tomb.
