Isabelle Schürch

15. July 2025

Der Heilige Eligius ist der Schutzpatron der Hufschmiede und Tierärzte. Der Legende nach hat er einem Pferd den Fuss amputiert, ihn auf dem Amboss beschlagen und anschliessend wieder angesetzt. Diese Geschichte ist auf einer Wandmalerei in der Kirche Kirchlindach BE aus der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts dargestellt.
