Fallecimiento

C.286 in Saint-Gratien, diocese of Amiens, France; his walnut pilgrim‘s staff was stuck into the ground on the site of his execution; it took root and grew there; as late as 1117, that tree, though stripped bare, would burst into leaf and be covered in fruit on the night of his feast; relics enshrined in the Coulombs monastery, diocese of Chartres, France in the 11th century; relics hidden in the palace of the archbishop in Paris, France during the anti–Christian persecutions of the French Revolution; relics somehow lost in 1830
