Swithun

Swithun, Benedictional of St. Æthelwold, Winchester, 10th century, British Library
St Swithun's memorial shrine in the retrochoir of Winchester Cathedral where the saint's relics were originally kept
Statue of St. Swithun originally on the façade of Winchester Cathedral; now housed in the Crypt.

Swithun (or Swithin, Old English:Swīþhūn, Latin:Swithunus; died c. 862 AD) was an Anglo-Saxon bishop of Winchester and subsequently patron saint of Winchester Cathedral. His historical importance as bishop is overshadowed by his reputation for posthumous miracle-working. According to tradition, the weather on his feast day (15 July) will continue for forty days. The precise meaning and origin of Swithun's name is unknown, but it most likely derives from the Old English word swiþ, 'strong'.
