Bernold, Bishop of Utrecht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Bernulf or Bernold of Utrecht (d. 19 July 1054) was Bishop of Utrecht (1026/7–1054).
Bernold succeeded Saint Adalbold as Bishop of Utrecht on 24 September 1027. He established the Churches of Saint Peter (St Pieterskerk) in 1048, and Saint John (St Janskerk) and Paul (St Pauluskerk) thereafter. With the later “Mariakerk”, they form the outside of the Utrecht “Kerkenkruis”: the Church Cross formed by four churches and a cathedral in the middle.
Bernold died on July 19, 1054, which is his feast day. His relics, including a cloth shirt, are venerated in Utrecht.
