This, however, had been abrogated, yet a proper office for a
Confessor not a Pontiff had been recited, and he was invoked as a minor patron of that place. The feast of this saint is set down at the 3rd of July, in the enlarged edition of Usuard's Martyrology; also, in a Manuscript Catalogue of the Saints &Scotland ; as likewise, in the Breviary of Aberdeen. John Wilson, in his " Martyrologium Anglicanum," sets him down as an Irishman, at this day. The name of Gutbagon occurs, at this date, in the anonymous Catalogue, published by O'Sullevan Beare, as Guthagonius. Molanus and Henry Fitz-Simon set him down, as Guthagonus, Rex et Confessor, at the 3rd July.," Again, a feast has been assigned to him, at the 1st of October. This appears as having reference to the Translation of his Relics.

1444. there was another translation of St. Guthagon's remains. In the succeeding century, Jean Ver-Meulen relates, that he saw these relics kept within iron gratings in the wall of the church. It has been remarked in our saint's office, that the shrine was hardly kept in a becoming manner. The
Calvinists profaned the relics of St. Guthagon after the Reformation, and they seem to have utterly destroyed them; nothing having remained but a tooth of the holy man, which had been transferred to the collegiate church of St. Saviour, at Bruges. On the case containing.it had been inscribed these words : "Dens S. Guthagonis."

Another companion, Gildulfus, is commemorated with the foregoing, and he spent an eremitical life with them, in Belgium. Here, St. Guthagon led a solitary life, until the time of his death. It is not known for certain, whether he died at Cnokem or at Oostkerke. However, the clergy and people of that district reverently interred his body, according to tradition in the western part of the cemetery of Oostkerke. Those holy men, Saints Guthagon and Gillon, rest at Oist-Kerke, in Flanders.

shrine is there held in veneration, and a chapel built in his honour. He is said to have lived in the eighth century. Gerald, bishop of
Tournay, translated the relics of this saint on the 3rd of July, 1059, in the presence of the abbots of Dun, Oudenbourg, and Ececkout; and on the 1st of October, 1444, they were visited by Nicholas, suffragan bishop of Tournay. See Colgan in MSS. and Molanus, p. 136.

Some will have it, that he journeyed to Rome ; yet, although such pilgrimages to the shrines of the
Apostles and martyrs there were undertaken by the Irish, Scots and Angles, soon after their conversion to Christianity, there does not appear to have been sufficient warrant for that statement in

In the beginning of the last century, the tooth of St. Guthagon was kept in the church at
Oostkerke, and on the 3rd day of each July, it was there exposed for the veneration of the faithful. Formerly, his feast was kept there with great solemnity, and on it there was an obligation for hearing Mass.

HE was an
Irishman of royal blood, who, forsaking the world to labour in securing eternal happiness, led a penitential, contemplative life at Oostkerk, near Bruges, in Flanders, with B. Gillon, an individual companion. He was famed for his eminent sanctity, attested by miracles after his death. His

After St. Guthagon's death, miracles were wrought at his grave. Gerald, Bishop of
Tourney, in the year 1159 exhumed St. Guthagon's body and placed It in a feretrum. The Abbots of Aldenburg, Dunens and of Quercetan were presents. It would seem, that at a subsequent period, towards the end of A.D.
