Saint Himelin (Hymelin, Himelinus) (died Vissenaken, c. 750 AD) was an Irish[1]orScottish[2] priest who, returning from a pilgrimagetoRome, fell ill when passing through Vissenaken (in present-day part of the municipality TieneninBelgium).[3]

He is said to have been the brother of Rumbold, patron saint of Mechelen.[1]

The legend of Saint Himelin states that in Vissenaken he asked a girl for some water. She refused, as there was bubonic plague in the area. However, after much insistence from Himelin, she finally gave him a pitcher of water, which miraculously turned into wine. Himelin died three days later of the plague. He is venerated on 10 March. His cult is confined to Vissenaken.[2]
