  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER Saints celebrated on the 31st of December WELCOME! SAINTS ALTINUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Saints Altinus, Serotinus and  Eobardus ( Eodaldus ) were companions of Saint Savianus and Potentianus. They preached the Christian faith in France, namely around Chartres, Paris and Orleans.  Some sources suggest that Savinianus, Potentianus and Altinus were among the 72 disciples of Christ and had been blessed by Saint Peter before he sent them to Gaul. But this assertion, as the Bollandists * remark, cannot be proven.
