Martin of Vienne

Saint Martin of Vienne is regarded as the third bishop of the city of Vienne in France, and he is believed to have lived in the second or third century; the Orthodox calendar gives his repose around 132. He is a legendary figure. He was mentioned in the eighth century by Archbishop Ado in his Chronicles, but it has since been questioned whether he ever existed.

A district and a bridge in the old town of Vienne are named after him, as is the town of Saint-⁠Martin-⁠l'Ars. His feast is kept locally at Vienne on 1 July, the day on which he is also commemorated in the Orthodox calendar, as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
