Life

Holy Venerable Ambrose was abbot of the monastery of Agaunum (Saint-⁠Maurice) in Switzerland. The calendars name two abbots of this name there, one around 523 or 532 and one in 582, and it cannot be said which of them is the saint honoured on 2 November. The sources consulted say no more of his life. He is a saint of the undivided Church, known from the Western calendars.

He is commemorated on 2 November, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).

Commemorated the same day November 2
