Van orange eutropius


Eutropius of Orange (Marseille, early 5th century - Orange, May 27, 475) was Bishop of Orange. To the legendary narrative his wife would have converted him into the Catholic faith. After her death, Eutropius would first have been deacon and then become a bishop.

Eutropius was friends with the semi-pelagian Faustus of Reji and conducted correspondence with Pope Hilarius. He participated in the synods of Arles in 436 and 475.

Eutropius is honored as holy. His memory is celebrated on May 27th.
