Arnold of Soissons (Paperback)


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Arnold (Arnoul) of Soissons or Arnold or Arnulf of Oudenburg (ca 1040 - 1087) is a saint of the Roman Catholic Church, the patron saint of hop-pickers and Belgian brewers. At the abbey, he began to brew beer, as essential in medieval life as water. He encouraged local peasants to drink beer, instead of water, due to its "gift of health." During the process of brewing, the water was boiled and thus, unknown to all, freed of pathogens. This same story is also told of Arnulf or Arnold of Metz, another patron of brewers. There are many depictions of St. Arnold with a mashing rake in his hand, to identify him. He is honored in July with a parade in Brussels on the "Day of Beer." Miracles that were reported at his tomb were investigated and approved by a council at Beauvais in 1121; Arnold's relics were translated to the church of Saint Peter, Aldenburg in 1131. St. Arnold's feast day is 8 July.
