Fiacre, St

    0.02 sec.

Fiacre, St (or St Fevre; Celtic St Fiachre) (died c. 670)

Irish-born anchorite who lived in France. He was famed for his miracles, and his shrine in Meaux Cathedral, where his relics were transferred in 1568, is still a place of pilgrimage.

He settled at Breuil. The Hôtel St Fiacre in Paris was named after him, and the hotel gave its name to the ‘fiacre’, a kind of hackney cab.
