Who they were
At Burghasungen in Hesse, in Germany, Saint Heimerad, priest and hermit, who, driven out of the cloister and exposed to the scorn and mockery of many, wandered far and wide for Christ.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 28 June as a priest and hermit who, driven from the cloister and mocked, wandered far and wide for Christ.
