Sidoine d'Aix
French archbishop
Feast: 23 August (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
St. Sidonius (also called Cedonius, or Restitutus) is traditionally held to be St. Maximinus of Aix's successor as Archbishop of Aix. He is also traditionally held to be a blind man healed by Jesus. The incident is often held to be Jesus healing the man blind from birth in John 9, but the man healed in this incident is more commonly associated with St. Celidonius, Protobishop of Nîmes. The name Sidonius literally means "from Sidon", so he could have been part of the Syro-Phoenician crowd that followed Jesus in Matthew 15:21 and Mark 7:24.
