Saints celebrated on the 7th of December
SAINT EUTROPIUS, ABBOT
Saint Eutropius was a student of Saint Martin of Saintes who, in turn, was a disciple of Saint Martin of Tours. Saint Martin of Saintes was educated at the monastery of Marmoutier, but later moved to Saintogne and built a monastery at Saintes. His most famous pupil was our saint who also became his successor. Saint Eutropius flourished in the 5th century. However, no further details have come down to us. (But. XVIII. 116., El.)
