Who they were
Menne, or Manne, is a Christian hermit saint honoured in Lorraine and one of the first known Christians of the diocese of Toul. She is said to have been born at Solimariaca (Saint-Élophe) and died on 3 October around 380 at the place called Fontenet, where a chapel dedicated to her keeps part of her relics. Below it lies a valley where, by the touch of her staff, she is said to have miraculously turned muddy water into a clear spring.
