Saint Remigius, French bishop and saint (b. 437)

Remigius (French: Remi or Rémi; c. 437 – January 13, 533), was the Bishop of Reims and "Apostle of the Franks". On 25 December 496 he baptised Clovis I, King of the Franks. This baptism, leading to about 3000 additional converts, was an important event in the Christianization of the Franks. Because of Clovis's efforts, a large number of churches were established in the formerly pagan lands of the Frankish empire, establishing a distinctly Catholic variety of Christianity for the first time in Germanic lands, which previously had mostly been converted to Arian christianity.
