Domitius of Amiens

Holy Venerable Domitius of Amiens lived in the 8th century as a hermit near Amiens in Gaul and is venerated especially in the diocese of Amiens. He is a saint of the undivided Church.

According to one tradition he had been a canon of Notre-⁠Dame of Amiens and gave up his prebend to live in solitude; another writer, drawing on his office readings, says he was a deacon of the church of Amiens who became a hermit at Saint-⁠Acheul on the banks of the Avre. He is remembered as spiritual guide of Saint Ulphia. A statue on the portal of Amiens Cathedral is identified as his, and the cathedral also has a painting of him with Saint Ulphia.

He is commemorated on 23 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
