From today's featured article  Statue in St Peter Mancroft, Norwich Felix of Burgundy (died 647 or 648) was a saint and the first bishop of the kingdom of the East Angles. He is widely credited as the man who introduced Christianity to the kingdom. Felix came from the Frankish kingdom of Burgundy, and may have been a priest at one of the monasteries in Francia founded by the Irish missionary Columbanus—Felix may have been Bishop of Châlons, before being forced to seek refuge elsewhere. Felix travelled from Burgundy to Canterbury before being sent by Archbishop Honorius of Canterbury to the kingdom of Sigeberht of East Anglia in about 630. Upon Felix's arrival in East Anglia, Sigeberht gave him a see at Dommoc, possibly in Suffolk, either at Walton, near Felixstowe, or at Dunwich. According to Bede, Felix helped Sigeberht to establish a school in his kingdom. Felix died on 8 March 647 or 648, having been bishop for 17 years. His relics were translated from Dommoc to Soham Abbey and then to the abbey at Ramsey. Several English churches are dedicated to him. (Full article...)
