Saint Die

Saint Die des Vosges normally referred to as Saint Die is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France. Saint Die is named for Saint Deodat. This holy guy or le bonhomme, founded a ban, a political and Christian subdivision of the royal territory initially called foresta in the 7th century. Old spiritual historians believed he turned into the episcopus of Nevers, Deodatus of Nevers. Deodatus gave up his Episcopal features to retire to a barren region place. Some assets join the name, but, with an earlier saint, Deodatus of Blois.

Archeology and historical records confirms the period of time that this vicinity has been occupied with the aid of human beings. One hypothesis holds that a column built by Romans, in a locus at first committed to Tiwaz, Tius, and god of war, may additionally give an explanation for historical ceremonies within the old saint Die chapel, under the Kemberg Mountain regionally called Saint Martin. Deodatus, who could have been a hiberniensis pope and now not a niverniensis pope or a bishop from Nevers might have lived in an old monastery or vieux moutier above this antique chapelle and water.
