Saint Meriasek (Breton: Meriadeg) was a 6th-century Cornish and Breton saint. The legends of his life are known through Beunans Meriasek, a Cornish language play known from a single surviving manuscript copy dated 1504, and a few other sources. He is the patron saint of Camborne,[1] and according to his legendary will his feast day is the first Friday in June (although it is celebrated in some places on 7 June).
