Description

St. Landry, Bishop of Seez The earliest record found of a person named Landry was in the 5th Century ca.450 in the person of ST. LANDRY 3rd BISHOP OF SEEZ who died on March 4, 480 and whose feast day is July 16th. Saint Landry was the 3rd bishop of Seez, successor of Saint Sigibold. Himself successor of Saint Latrium, first occupant of the Episcopal See from the year 400 to the year 440. He lived in great sanctity and was responsible for great progress of Christianity in his diocese. It appears that this was done in spite of great resistance, because in his legend, it is said that he was placed in a barrel filled with flax combs and rolled from the top to the bottom of a mountain. Nevertheless, this fact is not ascertained and he died at a great age on March 4, 480, in the arms of Saint Contest, Bishop of Bayeux, who happened to be in Seez at the time. He was buried in his cathedral dedicated to the Virgin. It is not the magnificent gothic building, which can be seen nowadays, because the one in which Saint Landry rested was destroyed in 878, during the invasion by the Saxons. The commemoration of such a good pastor, said father BLIN (1) could not perish; consequently we can see in the "Martyrology of Ainon" that as soon as the XIe century there was a Saint's day on July 16, in honor of this Saint. His Lordship Focoal, witness of the veneration of the people for Saint Landry, inserted in a Breviary a double service in his honor. This office has been recited in the diocese until 1864. In all the churches, the following prayer was said (Source: Life of the Saints of the Diocese of Seez (Volume 1, 178) LANDRI, MAYOR OF THE PALACE (539 A.D.)
