Amarinus

Saint Amarinus was abbot of a monastery in the Vosges in France and was slain in 676 together with Saint Praejectus, bishop of Clermont. The valley of Saint-⁠Amarin in Alsace bears his name.

Their martyrdom took place at Volvic, where they were killed by evil men, as the Roman Martyrology says: at Clermont in Auvergne, the Saints Projectus, bishop, and Marinus, a man of God, were murdered by the leading men of the city. Few details of Amarinus's life are preserved apart from this.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 25 January (new style).
