Life
Holy Hierarch Aquilinus of Évreux, called Aquilin in French sources, was born at Bayeux around 620 and reposed in 695. He is a saint of the undivided Church.
He served as a soldier of King Clovis II and married in 660 at Chartres. Together with his wife he resolved to live by good works, and they moved to Évreux, where both cared for the poor and the sick. In 670 he was made bishop of the city, yet he lived more as a hermit than as a prelate.
He is commemorated on 19 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
