Bishop of Rheims
b. 437
d. January 13, 533
Remi converted Clovis, King of the Franks, and with that conversion events were set into motion for large chunks of western Europe to follow.
The Episcopal Church does not celebrate Remi’s feast day on the date of his death, which is the general rule. Instead, it celebrates his feast on the day his remains were translated to a new abbey church by Pope Leo IX (August 1, 1049).
