(1538)</p><p><br /></p><p>Born in England, Lebuinus was a monk in Wilfrid&#039;s monastery at Ripon. He resolved to devote his life to the conversion of the Germans. After ordination, he proceeded in 754 to Utrecht, and was welcomed by Saint Gregory, acting bishop of that place, who entrusted him with the mission of Overijssel on the borders of Westphalia, His success aroused hostility among the pagans so he went&nbsp; to voice the claims of Christianity at the national assembly (Allthing) of the Saxons at Marclo (or Marklo) near the Weser (Northwestern Germany). He was so persuasive that&nbsp; they allowed him to preach unmolested in the territory allotted him. He is patron saint of Deventer where he was buried.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1260800[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
