SAINT LEOGONTIA, VIRGIN Saint Leogontia was an early medieval virgin saint venerated primarily in Clermont-Ferrand ( Claromontium ), France. Historical details regarding her life are minimal, but her memory is preserved through ancient regional liturgical records. Her relics rest in Clermont, France, inside the ancient Church of  St Cassius  ( Église Saint-Cassien ).

However, the hagiographical work Gynæceo sacro recognizes her commemoration on May 15 . Sources: Google AI, http...
