Who they were
At Noyon in France, Saint Acarius, bishop, who, elected to the Churches of Noyon and Tournai after having been a monk at Luxeuil, devoted himself to evangelising the peoples of the northern regions.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 27 November as a former monk of Luxeuil, bishop of Noyon and Tournai, who evangelised the northern peoples.
