Genesius, Count of Clermont
- Genesius, Count of Clermont
Genesius, Count of Clermont (died 725) was a noble of Gaul and reputed miracle worker.
According to the lessons of the Breviary of the Chapter of Camaleria ("Acta Sanctorum" June, I, 497), he was of noble birth; his father's name is given as Audastrius, and his mother's is Tranquilla. Even in his youth he is said to have wrought miracles--to have given sight to the blind and cured the lame.
He built and richly endowed several churches and religious houses. He was a friend of St. Bonitus, Bishop of Clermont, and of St. Meneleus, Abbot of Menat. He was buried at Combronde by St. Savinian, successor of Meneleus.
He is a Catholic saint, feast day 5 June.
