Silvin of Auchy
Saint Silvinus or Silvin (c. 650 in Toulouse – 15 February 717 or 718 in Auchy) was an evangelist in the area of Thérouanne, which is now in northern France. He retired in the Benedictine abbey of Auchy-les-Moines. His body was stolen by Arnulf I and he became a central saint for the Abbey of Saint Bertin.[1]
His feast day is 17 February.
