Svatý Wendelín pocházel podle legendy ze skotské královské rodiny a v rámci iroskotské misie pusobil v 6. století v trevírské diecézi. Jeho hrob se nachází v sárském meste Sankt Wendel, které vzniklo na míste jeho pohrbu. Patron pastýru a poutníku, ochránce dobytka a polí. Ackoli sv. Vendelín nepatrí mezi obvyklých 14 svatých pomocníku v nouzi, nekdy je mezi ne pocítán. Je vyobrazován jako poutník, mnich nebo pastýr. Jeho poutní hul vypadá nekdy spíše jako kyj pastýre. Podle legendy byl skotským královským synem a byl vychováván biskupem. Ve veku 20 let se rozhodl podniknout pout do Ríma, kde dostal požehnání od papeže. Pak se vrátil do Trevíru, v jehož okolí se usadil jako poustevník, a aby mel nejakou obživu, sloužil jako pastýr u jednoho šlechtice. Tento šlechtic, když poznal, že jde o muže svatého, vystavel mu poustevnu. Odtud ho povolali benediktinští mniši z blízkého kláštera Tholey, protože si ho zvolili za opata. V tomto kláštere v roce 617 (nebo 614) také zemrel.

Podle legendy však zeme neprijala jeho telo do hrobu, a tak je mniši naložili na káru a nechali voly, at je zavezou, kam chtejí. Oni ho privezli na místo jeho poustevny, na horu, kde se modlíval. Tam byl pohrben a tam vzniklo poutní místo St. Wendel nad Sárou.
