Шаблон:Infobox saint Saint Castor of Karden (Шаблон:Lang-de) was a priest and hermit of the 4th century who is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. Castor was a pupil of Maximinus of Trier around 345 AD,[1] and was ordained as a priest by Maximinus. Like his teacher, Castor may have come from the region of Aquitaine.[1] At his ordination, Castor settled at Karden on the Moselle as a hermit with various companions, where they dedicated themselves to an ascetic life and established a small religious community.

Castor's companions there included the Aquitanian pilgrim Saint Potentinus, and Potentinus’ two sons Felicius and Simplicius.[1]

Castor died at Karden at an advanced age.[2]

Veneration

By the year 791 AD, there was already a reliquary dedicated to Castor, which was translated to the Paulinuskirchen at Karden.[2] In 836, the relics were translated to what became the Basilica of St. Castor at Koblenz by Archbishop Hetto of Trier.[1][2]
