Martyr
Warinus
Son of Saint Sigrada and brother of Saint Leodegar, stoned to death around 679.
Life
Warinus was the son of Saint Sigrada and the brother of Saint Leodegarius (Leger), bishop of Autun. The tyrant Ebroin, who was at war with Leodegarius, had him stoned to death near Arras in the north of France in the year 677 (679 in other accounts). He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
The calendar also names him Gerinus (Garinus, Werinus) on 2 October, the day of his brother Leodegarius.
His commemoration falls on 25 August (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 7 September of the civil calendar.
