Kenelm

Kenelm
Provenance. Vient du celte "ken et el" Signifie: "beau et richesse". Se fête le 17 juillet.
Histoire. On ne sait rien de précis sur saint Kenelm, sauf qu'il est de famille noble et comte de Mercie, en Angleterre, au IXème siècle. Il a choisi de servir Dieu et ses proches. Il fut un modèle d'humilité et d'abnégation.
Caractère. De forte personnalité, maîtres d'eux-mêmes en toute circonstance, ils veulent sans cesse se dépasser. Réfléchis, lucides, ils ne portent jamais de jugement à la légère. Volontaires, sérieux, voire graves, ils savent aussi être gais et se détendre franchement. Leur humour est caustique. Ce sont des amis sûrs, fidèles, mais exigeants. Leur morale est stricte et rigoureuse.
