Cheron

Holy Hieromartyr Cheron is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 28 May (new style) as a hieromartyr, under the name Heron or Cheron.

A western Orthodox calendar gives him as Caraunus (Ceraunus, Cheron), of Roman descent, who is said to have preached the Gospel in France in the fifth century and to have been killed by robbers near Chartres. A church and a monastery were built over his tomb. This is all that the sources consulted say.
