Saint Urban of Langres(327 – c. 390) was aFrenchsaintandbishop. He served as the sixthbishop of Langresfrom 374 until his death. Saint Leodegaria was his sister.[2]
Urban was the bishop of Langres, France, beginning in 374. Legend states that soon after taking his position, political turmoil erupted, and he was driven from his house. St. Urban hid from his persecutors in avineyard. The vine-dressers in the area concealed him, and he took the opportunity to convert them toChristianity. Those same vine-dressers then helped him in his covert ministry, as he moved from one town to another via their vineyards. Due to this work, and to Urban’s devotion to the Holy Blood, he developed great affection to all the people in the wine industry, and they for him. Urban is thus thepatron saintof all those who work in thewine industryand is invoked againstblightandalcoholism.
