According to the expression of the holy Pope Hormisdas, “Remigius converted the nation, and baptized Clovis, in the midst of prodigies similar to those of the apostolic age.” The prayers of Clotilde, and labors of Genevieve, the penances of the monks who peopled the forests of Gaul, had doubtless a great share in a conversion which brought such joy to the Angels. Did space allow, we might relate how it was also prepared by the great Bishops of the fifth century, Germanus of Auxerre, Lupus of Troyes, Anian of Orleans, Hilary of Arles, Memertus and Avitus of Vienne, Sidonius Apollinaris, and so many others who, in that age of darkness, held up the Church to the light of day, and commanded the respect of the Barbarians. Remigius, contemporary and survivor of most of them, and their rival in eloquence, nobility, and holiness, seemed to personify them all on that Christmast night forestalled by so many desires, prayers, and sufferings.
Kwa mujibu wa usemi wa takatifu Papa Hormisdas, “”Remigius kubadilishwa taifa, akibatiza Clovis, katikati ya prodigies sawa na wale wa zama za wanafunzi.”” Sala za Clotilde, na taabu ya Genevieve, penances ya watawa ambao peopled misitu ya Gaul, alikuwa walau sehemu kubwa katika uongofu ambayo yameleta furaha vile kwa Malaika. Je nafasi kuruhusu, tupate yanahusiana jinsi ilikuwa pia tayari na Maaskofu mkubwa wa karne ya tano, Germanus wa Auxerre, Lupus wa Troyes, Anian ya Orleans, Hilary ya Arles, Memertus na Avitus ya Vienne, Sidonius Apollinaris, na wengine wengi ambao, kwa kuwa umri wa giza, uliofanyika juu Church kwa mwanga wa mchana, akaamuru heshima ya Barbarians. Remigius, kisasa na survivor ya wengi katika wao, na mpinzani wao katika ufasaha, heshima, na utakatifu, walionekana personify yao yote juu ya kwamba usiku Christmast forestalled na tamaa nyingi, sala, na mateso.
