Amabilis of Riom

Holy Amabilis of Riom (Amable) was a Gallo-⁠Roman priest of the Auvergne who reposed around 475. Sidonius Apollinaris brought him to Clermont; he served as cantor in the church of Saint Mary at Clermont and as precentor at the cathedral, then as parish priest at Riom. He gained a reputation for holiness in his lifetime. He is invoked as protector against fire and snakes. The town of Riom grew up around the collegiate church dedicated to him, a place of pilgrimage. He is a saint of the undivided Church.

He is commemorated on 1 November, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
