Quotes:Remigius

Zirkoff, Boris

Remigius, St. (St. Remi or Remy). Apostle of the Franks, Archbishop of Reims, b. at Cerny or Laon, 437; d. at Reims, Jan. 13, 553. His father was Émile, Count of Laon; he studied literature at Reims, and soon became so noted for learning that he was elected Archbishop in his 22nd year. From then on his chief aim was the propagation of Christianity in the realm of the Franks. He converted Clovis to the new faith, with the assistance of his wife Clotilda, in 496. Clovis granted Remigius stretches of territory, in which he established and endowed many churches; he erected several bishoprics, notably at Tournai and Cambrai. He was on excellent terms with the Frankish nobility and received from its members munificent donations. His influence upon both the people and the prelates was considerable. His relics are now in the Abbey of Saint-Remy, France.
