Saint Hymelinus source - Vissenaken, Belgium - Holy Wells on Waymarking.com

Holy Well named after Sint Hymelinus, who turned water from this well into wine.
The Well is rather hidden and can only be accessed bij a path through the meadow or the forest. The well is approx 300 meters from the main road.
Why the well was just created there is still a question. There are no written testimonials about that. Most likely at that area it was the easiest way to get to the 'ground water', to create this well.
The well is sometime dry in the summer period.

About Saint Himelin:
Saint Himelin (Hymelin, Himelinus) (died Vissenaken, c. 750 AD) was an Irish or Scottish priest who, returning from a pilgrimage to Rome, fell ill when passing through Vissenaken.
He is said to have been the brother of Rumbold, patron saint of Mechelen.
The legend of Saint Himelin states that in Vissenaken he asked a girl for some water. She refused, as there was bubonic plague in the area. However, after much insistence from Himelin, she finally gave him a pitcher of water, which miraculously turned into wine. Himelin died three days later of the plague. He is venerated on 10 March. His cult is confined to Vissenaken.
