Remigius, also called Remedius, was born at Leon, of noble parents by name Æmilius and St. Celinia. They were far advanced in age, and renowned among their own people for their virtue, when the birth of this child was foretold to them by a blind hermit name Montanus; who afterwards recovered his sight, by applying to his eyes some of the milk wherewith the infant Remigius was nourished.
Remigius, pia hujulikana Remedius, alizaliwa katika Leon, wazazi vyeo kwa jina Æmilius na St Celinia. Walikuwa mbali ya juu katika umri, na mashuhuri miongoni mwa watu wao kwa mujibu wao, wakati kuzaliwa kwa mtoto huyu alikuwa ametabiri kwao na kipofu hermit jina Montanus; ambao baadaye zinalipwa mbele zake, kwa kutumia kwa macho yake baadhi ya maziwa ambayo kwa watoto wachanga Remigius ilikuwa kulishwa.
