Credan
Saint Credan of Evesham (died 19 August 780) is a saint in the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church and of the Eastern Orthodox Church. He is also known in Latin as Credus or Credanus. Life and cult Credan was the Abbot of the Benedictine Abbey at Evesham, England, during the reign of King Offa of Mercia. His office is attested by charters in King Offa's reign, but no details of Credan's life have been preserved. Relics of St Credan at Evesham Abbey were put through an ordeal by fire in 1077, apparently because of Norman suspicion of this local saint, about whom little was known. The ordeal was conducted by the new Norman abbot, Walter de Cerisy, who, after consultation with Archbishop Lanfranc, ordered a three-day fast, and had the seven penitential psalms and appropriate litanies chanted while the sanctity of the bones was tested by fire. According to legend, the relics not only survived but shone like gold when moved to a place of devotion. This may, however, be a conf ...
