Saint Remigius

Bishop of Reims
Years: 437 - 533

Saint Remigius, Remy or Remi, (French: Saint Rémi or Saint Rémy; Italian: Remigio; Spanish: Remigio; Occitan: Romieg; Polish: Remigiusz; and Breton: Remig), is Bishop of Reims and Apostle of the Franks, (c. 437 – January 13, 533).

On December 24, 496 he baptizes Clovis I, King of the Franks.

This baptism, leading to the conversion of the entire Frankish people to Nicene Christianity, is a momentous success for the Catholic Church and a seminal event in European history.
