Timotheus

Saint Timotheus was a man who came from the East to preach the Gospel in Gaul. In the time of Marcus Aurelius, the governor of Gaul, Lampadius, wished to make him renounce his faith; seeing this, new disciples were converted. They were among the first martyrs of Reims, and the cross of Pompelle recalled this execution in the year 324.

Timotheus is a saint of the Church of Reims, venerated on 23 August. The collegiate church of Saint-⁠Timothée at Reims, now gone, had a series of twenty-⁠eight enamels by Jacques I Laudin on the life of Timotheus, Maurus and Apollinaris, now kept in the Musée Saint-⁠Remi. The church of Dizy is dedicated to Saints Timotheus and Apollinaris.
