Saint Malo or Saint Machutus was a sixth century saint.
He was the founder of Saint-Malo, a commune in Brittany, France. He was one of the seven founding saints of Brittany.
Malo was baptized as an adult by Brendan the Navigator and became his student… I have included a synopsis of his* Voyage of Saint Brendan the Abbot*.
he was the first bishop of Aleth - now modern Saint-servan in France.
There are two stories/legends about Saint Malo and seaweed. In one story he laid down on a heap of seaweed at low tide and fell asleep. Having searched on the beach he was found floating on the sea on a mass of seaweed.
The second story he was cut off by the sea and miraculously floated to safety on a bed of seaweed.
