Died c. 670. Saint Etto is said to have been a native of Ireland, who went to France with Saint Fursey. He is known, however, for his evangelistic efforts in Belgium, where he used Saint Peter's Abbey at Fescau as his headquarters. Until recently, his festival was solemnly kept with a procession of his relics with a mounted escort. In art, Saint Etto is a bishop surrounded by cattle. He is venerated in Belgium (Roeder).
