St. Giles
Saint Giles has been venerated for many ages in France and England. It is claimed that he was born in Athene of noble extraction. As he found it impossible to enjoy the obscurity and retirement in his native country because his extraordinary piety and learning had attracted the world to himself, he sailed to Gaul (now France). At first he established himself in the wilderness near the mouth of the Rhone; then near the river Gard, and, finally, in a forest in the diocese of Nimes.
He spent many years in solitude contemplating God. His only companion was a deer. The Saint’s retreat was found by the King’s hunters, who had pursued the animal to its place of refuge. In time St. Giles consented to receive some disciples. He built a monastery for them in his valley, which he placed under the Rule of St. Benedict. The numerous miracles he wrought increased his reputation for sanctity throughout Gaul, and many churches have been erected in his honor. St. Giles died in the 8th century.
