From the popular piety of earlier centuries, it was part of life in Brittany that everyone who could in any way do so undertook a great pilgrimage to the seven cathedrals of Brittany, the so-called “founding saints”. This was called “Tro Breiz” (Tour through Brittany) in Breton. Estimates suggest that in the 14th century, up to 40,000 people had to cover a distance of almost 700 kilometers for this purpose. It is said that if one did not complete the Tro Breiz during their lifetime, the pilgrimage would be continued, if necessary, in the coffin. Some years before the turn of the millennium, the “Tro Breiz” – albeit in a different form – was revived. In the modern variant, the route is spread over seven years, with one of the pilgrimage destinations visited each year. The prominent seven saints are: + Saint Maclovius: Founder of the diocese of Saint-Malo and patron saint of the city. + Saint Samson: Founder of the diocese of Dol-de-Bretagne and one of the most famous Breton saints. + Saint Briocus: Founder of the diocese of Saint-Brieuc and its monastery. + Saint Tugdual: Founder of the diocese of Tréguier and one of the most important saints in Breton history. + Saint Paul-Aurelianus: Founder of the diocese of Saint-Pol-de-Léon and an important missionary. + Saint Corentin: Founder of the diocese of Quimper and one of the most important Breton saints. + Saint Hervé: A saint of Brittany mentioned in the Vita Hervei.
