Who they were
Goran, or Goronus, Hermit, Patron of several churches, contemporary with St. Petroc.
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
Stanton's Menology of England and Wales (1887) lists him among the Cornish saints to whom churches have been dedicated.
