Honestus

Saint Honestus was born at Nîmes in Gaul, was ordained priest, and was sent to Spain by Saint Saturninus of Toulouse to preach the Gospel, which he did with success. He was martyred at Pamplona around the year 270, during the persecutions of the time of Aurelian. Tradition later added that he was a nobleman of Nîmes and an apostle to Navarre and the Basque country, but these details are of later origin. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 16 February (new calendar).
