Saint Josse

Saint Josse, also known as Saint Judoc, was a 7th-century Breton prince who renounced his noble title to live as a hermit and priest. He is venerated in Northern France, especially in the region of Ponthieu. Saint Josse cared for the poor and was devoted to prayer and solitude. He is commonly invoked as a patron of pilgrims and travelers. His cult spread widely during the Middle Ages due to numerous reported miracles.
