Шаблон:Infobox saint Saint Engelmund (Engelmond, Ingelmund) of Velsen (died 14 May c. 739) was an English-born missionary to Frisia. He was educated in his native country and entered the Benedictine Order. He was ordained a priest and later became an abbot.

Life

Although born in England, he had lived in Friesland with his parents and so knew the language.[1] He traveled to Frisia to join Saint Willibrord in evangelizing the region. Engelmund was based at Velsen near Haarlem, where he later died at an advanced age, of fever.[2]

Iconography

Saint Engelmund is depicted as a pilgrim abbot with a fountain springing under his staff.[3]
