Saint Germanus (or Germain)
of Auxerre lived in one of the most chaotic times in Roman history, under the
reigns of some of the most incompetent Roman Emperors that ever existed. His
life, as a Roman government official and then as a bishop, was notable and
influential enough to ensure him a place in the history books, yet Germanus’
biographers and commentators also recorded the numerous miracles that were
attributed to the saint. In this account, the miracles will be left in the
narrative, so that readers can decide for themselves how much or how little
credence to give the miraculous events reported to have occurred during St.
Germanus’ life.
