Agericus of Verdun

Saint Agericus of Verdun (Aguy, Airy) was Bishop of Verdun in France, successor of Saint Desiderius. He was born around 521 and reposed in 591.

His contemporaries, Saint Gregory of Tours and Venantius Fortunatus, admired him greatly. He was buried in his own house, which was turned into a church; the monastery of Saint-⁠Airy later grew up around it. He is a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 1 December (New Calendar).
