Aprus

Aprus

:"For the 7th century saint, see Aprus of Sens. Aprus was also the name of a 4th century archbishop of Reims. "Aprus" is also the name of a deity or hero posited by Jacob Grimm who was the namesake for the month of April."

Saint Aprus ( _fr. Aper, Apre, Epvre, Evre, Avre) (d. 507 AD) was a bishop of Toul from 500 to 507. The brother of Saint Apronia (Evronie), he was born near Trier. He may have studied as a lawyer. After entering the priesthood, Aprus was appointed bishop of Toul.

Veneration

Aprus' relics were rediscovered in 978. According to the "Vita Sancti Gerardi", Bishop St. Gerard I of Toul (r. 963–994) had the relics of both St. Mansuy and Aprus brought into Toul and placed in the church of St. John the Baptist while he was ill. [Karl Leyser, Timothy Reuter, "Warriors and Churchmen in the High Middle Ages: Essays Presented to Karl Leyser" (Continuum International Publishing Group: 1992), 56.]

His feast day is September 15.
