Baring-Gould’s sources: Roman and Gallican Martyrologies, Usuardus, &c. At Coutances and Arras on Nov. 3; but at Bayeux on Nov. 5. Authority: — A Life by S. Vigor was bom in Artois. His parents, illustrious by their birth, were more ennobled by their sanctity of life. They gave their son Vigor to S. Vedast, Bishop of Arras, to be by him educated; but not for the ministry. Vigorf fearing lest his father should insist on his marrying, and continuing the family honours, ran away with one companion named Theodemir, and concealed himself at Ravifere, a little village near Bayeux. There he preached, and having received priests’ orders, ministered the sacraments to the people. He is said to have restored a child to life whom he had baptized, and who died shortly after his baptism. He healed the sick, opened the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind. Of course, of him, as of most other bishops of an early age, the story is told that he killed a monstrous serpent or dragon. On the death ofS. Contestus, in 513, Vigor was elected in his place to the vacant see of Bayeux. Near the city stood a hill called Phaunus, on which was a stone figure of a woman to which the peasants offered religious rites.1 It stood on a royal domain. S. Vigor obtained the property from King Childebert, destroyed the idol, erected a church on the spot, and called the hill Mons Chrismatis, the Mount of Unction. Count Bertulf invaded the domain given to the bishop. Vigor entered the church, prayed, and received the satisfactory information that the Count had fallen off his horse, and broken his neck. S. Vigor founded the monastery of Cerare, which was afterwards destroyed by the Normans. He died at an advanced age, full of merits, on the 1st of November. His relics were translated to the cathedral of Bayeux, but afterwards were carried to the monastery of S. Riquier, in Ponthieu. A portion was given in 1671 to the monastery of S. Vigor, near Bayeux, and this is still preserved in the monastery church, now converted into a parish church. 1 Like the so-called Venus of Quiniply.
