Patroclus of Bourges

Patroclus of Bourges

Saint Patroclus of Bourges (c. 496-576) was a Merovingian ascetic, who was a native of the province of Berry. In his "Historia Francorum", Gregory of Tours writes that Patroclus became a priest during his youth, and would drink nothing stronger than water that had been sweetened with honey. He ate only bread, water, and salt, and devoted long periods to prayer, being credited with healing powers. He died aged eighty years old.
