Grannus

Grannus was the Romano-Celtic god of healing and the spring.

Grannus was widely worshipped in Continental Europe. Mineral springs in Brittany, Aix-la-Chapelle, Grand (Vosges, eastern France), and Trier (in Germany) were all sacred to Grannus. There are some artefacts found where he was depicted beside the goddess Sirona, who was also the goddess of healing springs.
