Psalmodius

Veneration When Psalmodius died, he was buried on the banks of the Vienne River. A church was built over his tomb; later a monastery was attached to it. The monastery was at the foot of the hill (“ayen-moutiers”), a description that turned into the place-name of Eymoutiers.

Psalmodius’ relics were placed in a silver shrine at the collegiate church associated with the monastery of Eymoutiers.

An ancient Breviary associated with the diocese of Limoges includes the feast days of Psalmodius and Anthony of Padua, listed on 13 June. Psalmodius’ Office was celebrated under a Double Rite, and the saint’s name appears in the Kalendar of Limoges, in the Menology of David Camerarius, in the Martyrology of Andrew Saussay, in the work of Ferrarius, in the work of Simon Martin, in the work of the Bollandists, and in the work of the Petits Bollandistes.
