St Meriadoc
(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
St Meriadoc, also known as Meriasek, was probably a Welshman who founded at least one church in Cornwall and several churches and monasteries in Brittany in the 4th century. He eventually became a bishop there and his feast is celebrated in several Breton dioceses to this day.
The rare Cornish miracle play: Beunans Meriasek, tells his life story. St Meriadoc was once very rich but he gave away all his possessions - much to the consternation of his relatives - and devoted his life to prayer and caring for the sick and needy.
‘Poverty is a remover of cares and the mother of holiness,’ he said.
His bell is still in the church at Stival in Brittany. Placed on the heads of migraine sufferers or the deaf, it is said to heal them. There is also a holy well at Stival dedicated to the saint.
