Eenelter Kapell

Saint Theobald Day on July 1st (sorry, I'm a bit late for that ;)

Theobald was born in the Champagne region of France in 1033 as a son of a Count. He left France and came with his friend, Gauthier, to Luxembourg where they both lived in Pëtten, near Mersch, as hermits. When people discovered who they were they continued their journey to Spain, to Santiago de Compostela, and further on to Rome. Theobold is considered the patron saint of the shoemakers. To spot a statue of Theobold in Luxembourg head to the chapel called “Eenelter Kapell” in Rëcken near Mersch.
