EspañolCORENTIN OF QUIMPER
(Redirected from Saint Corentin)
'Saint Corentin' (Corentinus; in Breton, ''Sant Kaourintin'') (d. 460 AD) is a Breton saint. He is venerated as a saint and as the first bishop of Quimper. His feast day is December 12. He was a hermit at Plomodiern and was also bishop of Porzay at the end of the 7th century and at the beginning of the 8th century.
Quimper Cathedral is dedicated to him.
In iconography, Corentin's attribute is a fish. This refers to the legend that Corentin made daily use of a miraculous fish near his hermitage; Corentin would nourish himself by cutting a piece of this fish, which would then regrow its missing parts.
