He was one of the great Christian missionaries of Flanders, and he is venerated as a saint, particularly in France and in Belgium.
As well as being a great missionary, St. Amand was a father of monasticism in ancient Belgium; a score of monasteries claimed him as founder. In particular, he founded houses at Elnone (Saint-Amand-les-Eaux), near Tournai, which became his headquarters.
Known for his hospitality, Saint Amand is the patron saint of all who produce or sell beer (brewers, innkeepers, bartenders).
