Saint Ivo of Kermartin

Saint Ivo of Kermartin, also known as Yves, Yvon, or Ives, was a Breton priest and lawyer, revered as the patron saint of lawyers and abandoned people. Born in 1253 in Kermartin, France, he was renowned for his fairness, charity, and defense of the poor. He served as a judge and always advocated justice with compassion. His upright life earned him the nickname "Advocate of the Poor." He was canonized in 1347 and is especially venerated in Brittany.
