Saint Wendelin or Wendelin of Trier (b. c. 554; probably d. 617) was a hermit and abbot. Wendelin is the patron saint of country people and herdsmen.

He is represented in art as a youth, or as a bearded man, with a shepherd's bag and a book in one hand and a shepherd's crook in the other; about him feed lambs, cattle, and swine, while a crown and a shield are placed at his feet.
