Abstract
Saint Wendelin is the patron saint of livestock, stock-breeders and herders in the modern era. His cult became popular in Hungary in the 18th century. The german settlers and shepherds who arrived with the new sheepbreeds bred in the great manors played a huge part in the popularisation of his cult. His cult was quite vivid in the Hungarian, German and Croatian villages within the borders of the diocese of Veszprém, to which County Somogy belonged until 1993. He was honored especially in the villages where clergymen, episcopal manors, or the order of the Piarists had their lands or landcentres. Some parishes built churches, many more built chapels in his honor, or erected his statues. His day was celebrated as a votive feast every year with masses, processions and the prohibition of working with workstock on that day.
