Saint Leonard of Noblac was a 5th-century Frankish nobleman who became a hermit and later a revered saint. He is best known for his association with the Frankish royal family and his role in the conversion of many to Christianity. Leonard is often depicted with chains, symbolizing his work in freeing captives and helping the oppressed. He is the patron saint of prisoners, women in labor, and the sick. His feast day is celebrated on November 6. Many churches and places are dedicated to him, particularly in France, where his influence remains significant in local traditions and devotions.
