Life

The Holy Hierarchs Front and George are regarded as apostles of Périgueux in Gaul and the first bishops of the city. The calendars place them in the 2nd or 3rd century, with a question mark, and the dates are not certain. The sources consulted say nothing of their lives. They are saints of the undivided Church, known from the Western calendars.

They are commemorated on 25 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).

Commemorated the same day October 25
