Domitius

Saint Domitius (Domice) of Amiens was a hermit of the 8th century, venerated especially in the diocese of Amiens in France. According to tradition he had been a canon of the cathedral of Notre-⁠Dame in Amiens and gave up his prebend to live in solitude.

According to the hagiographer Laurentius Surius, relying on the readings of his office, he was not a priest but a deacon of the Church of Amiens, who withdrew as a hermit to Saint-⁠Acheul on the banks of the Avre. He is remembered for being the spiritual guide of Saint Ulphia. One of the statues on the portal of Amiens cathedral has been identified as his, and the cathedral also holds a 19th-⁠century painting, attributed to Jean de Franqueville, showing him with Saint Ulphia. His memory is kept on 23 October, by the Western calendar (new style); he is not in the revised 2004 edition of the Roman Martyrology. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
