Andéol : first name coming from the Greek Andros , man, virile (who gives also André, Andy, androgen, polyandry).

Saint Andéol (Andeolus) was born with Smyrna (currently Izmir, Turkey) at the 2nd century. Sub-deacon, it is sent by Saint Polycarpe évangéliser the south of the Gaulle, in the year 166. It arrives thus in the Vivarais (current Ardèche). Severe Septime, of passage in the area, the fact of putting at death, the head transpierced by a wood sword, on May 1st 208, in Bergoiata, old Celtic city become Borough-Saint-Andéol at the 15th century. The body, thrown in the the Rhone, is fished out and deposited in a sarcophagus by a Roman rich person (Anycia or Amycia Eucheria Tullia, girl of the senator Eucherius Valerianus (Eucher of Lyon), whose ancestor is quoted favorably by Jules César in his Commentaires on the War of Gaules). It is this sarcophagus which would have been found in 1865, at the time of excavations carried out in the Saint-Polycarpe vault of the Romance church of the 11th century of Borough-Saint-Andéol (Ardeche).

Saint Andéol is traditionally represented holding a book and a palm, a wood knife planted in the head. One finds a table the representative, inside the Church " Saint-Andéol" of Parisot. See the Notes of the Ministry for the Culture on the table and the church (to click on " Note édifice").

One celebrates Saint Andéol on May 1st (according to Infocatho of the Conference of the Bishops of France) or sometimes the May 4th (according to the places and the traditions).

Alignments of the baptized places “Saint-Andéol”

Thirty-nine places (see the list hereafter) are baptized " Saint-Andéol" between Saint-Andelain (Nievre) and Sant-Aniol-in Aguja = Saint-Andéol-in Aguja (Northern of Spain). Their representation on a plan reveals many alignments almost perfectly rectilinear between some of them. One notes for example that Saint-Andéol-of-Berg on a straight line connecting it to three villages almost at equal distance one of the other is, that is to say approximately 20 km (Borough-Saint-Andéol, Saint-Andéol-of-Valleys and Saint-Andéol-of-Fourchades). This characteristic cannot be the fact of the chance and conduit to be wondered about its origin and its significance. The abbot Onésime Mirabel, in “Andéol Saint and his worship” (Paris - 1868), place the beginning this worship at the 9th century (reign of King Louis 1st of France, known as Débonnaire or the Piles - Louis the Piles). Were places devoted to pagan gods in the beginning at that time devoted to Saint Andéol by the Christians, according to a method then current? One finds in France of right alignments or spiral devoted to the giant “Isore” or God “Lug”. Which pagan god Saint Andéol did it drive out places which bear its name?
