Saint Chrysolius ((フランス語:Chrysole, Chryseuil)) the Armenian is the patron saint of Komen, in Belgium;〔William Smith and Henry Wace, ''A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines'', 1877, vol. I ''s.v.'' "Chrysolius"〕 his relics were venerated in the basilica of St Donatian, Bruges.〔(St. Chrysolius ).〕 According to tradition, he was a native of Armenia who fled to Rome during the persecution of Christians by Diocletian, was received by Pope Marcellus I and sent to northeast Gaul, where he evangelized at Verlengehem.〔(); Smith and Wace.〕 According to his legend, he then became a spiritual student of Saint Denis and was sent with Saint Piatus to evangelize the area of Cambrai and Tournai. Chrysolius then became a bishop〔According to André du Saussay, ''Martyrologium gallicanum'' (Paris 1637), noted in Smith and Wace. The historical bishoprics of this region date to the sixth century.〕 and was subsequently stopped by Roman soldiers and condemned to be decapitated; the top of his skull was sliced off.〔 According to his legend, the piece of his skull broke into three smaller pieces, and where each piece fell, a miraculous spring gushed out.〔 Chrysolius, after recovering the top of his cranium, walked to Komen and died there, after crossing the ford at the Deule River that now bears his name.〔 ==Veneration== The waters of the springs where pieces of his head are said to have fallen were believed to cure ailments of the throat and eyes.〔 The rosette in the façade of the church of Saint-Vaast at Wambrechies depicts Chrysolius, along with saints Hubert, Benedict, and Bernard.〔 The church of Saint-Chrysole was rebuilt in neo-Byzantine style between 1922–1929, after its predecessor was destroyed in World War I.
