Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox saint Saint Eliphius or Eloff (Élophe, Éliphe, Alophe) is venerated as a Christian martyr. Tradition holds that he was the child of a king of Scotia, and preached in Toul, where he converted 400 people to Christianity.[1] He was accompanied by his siblings: St. Eucharius, and three sisters, Menna, Libaria, and Susanna.[1][2] Tradition also makes him a bishop of Toul.[3]

In regard to their alleged royal and Irish birth, James Henthorn Todd states “that we cannot place much reliance on the statement that they were the children of a king of Scotia. Their names are not Irish.”[4] In the 12th century, Abbot Rupert of Duitz (Rupertus Tuitiensis), author of the Acts of the saint, was of the opinion that Eliphius and his siblings were natives of Toul.[4]

In his History of Lorraine, Antoine Augustin Calmet does not mention Scotia (which can refer to Ireland or Scotland) and states that according to some scholars, Eliphius could be a native of Soulosse-sous-Saint-Élophe or Gran;[5] as well as the princely son of a man named Baccius.[2][4]

All of the siblings, except Menna,[2] were beheaded at or near Toul, at the order of Julian the Apostate.[1]

Veneration

They were buried at Mount Eliph.[1] The Lorsch Codex mentions the donation of the relics of St. Eliphius to the Great St. Martin Church, Cologne and was the second named patron of the church.[6] These relics were later transferred to Toul.[6]

  5. In the 18th century, Augustin Calmet made a scholarly, but unsuccessful, attempt to determine the location of "Gran". He found that the name only appears in the older records. He suggested that "Gran" might be a French contraction of the Latin "Urbs grandis" ("the big town"), and to have referred within the neighbourhood of Toul to that town itself. (Шаблон:Cite book). Another possibility is the nearby town of Grand.
