Life

Saint Apronia of Toul (also called Evronie of Troyes) was a nun of the fifth or sixth century. She was born at Tranquille, a village near Trier in Germany, and was the sister of Saint Aprus (Evre), bishop of Toul, from whom she received the veil. She led a virginal life in imitation of her brother and reposed in a convent at Troyes in France, in an unknown year, on 15 July.

Her relics were enshrined at Toul by Bishop Gerard in 992. She is the patron of women in labor and in other dangers. She is commemorated on 15 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
