ST. LEWINE.

Was a British virgin who suffered martyrdom under the Saxons before

their conversion to the faith. Her body was honorably kept at Seaford

near Lewes, in Sussex, till, in 1058, her remains, with those of St.

Idaberga, virgin, and part of those of St. Oswald, were conveyed

into Flanders, and are now deposited in St. Winock’s abbey at Berg.

They have been honored by many miracles, especially at the time of

this translation, as even the century-writers of Magdeburg mention.

A history of these miracles written by Drogo, an eye-witness to

several, is published by Solier the Bollandist, p. 608, t. 5, Jul.
