[show more] -- Saint Arnoldus Arnoldus founded the abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg (Flanders: between Bruges and Ostend) in 1070. He died 47 years old in the abbey. Legend tells us that he, still a bishop, traveled around in Flanders, infested by the black plague, to tell the people to drink beer instead of water. He blessed the brew kettles with his holy stick, and everybody who drank the beer was cured. For these miracles, he later became sainted by pope Gregorius VIII in 1120. And certainly in Belgium, all brewers throw parties on August 18, the day St. Arnoldus is commemorated in the Church. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 4 votes 72 pts
