Life

Holy Hierarch Ansovinus of Camerino was born at Camerino in Italy and first lived as a hermit at Castel Raimondo near Torcello. He then became bishop of his native town, accepting the office on condition that his see be exempt from the duty of recruiting soldiers, which was then imposed on most bishops. He is the patron of agriculture. Orthodox England gives the year of his repose as 840, and Wikipedia gives 816. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 13 March (new calendar).
