Aspasius of Auch (/æˈspeɪʒiəs, æˈspeɪziəs, æˈspeɪʒəs/; also Aspasius of Éauze; died 560) was a Christian leader of the 6th century canonized as a saint.
History
Aspasius was from Gascony, but left due to the invasion by the Goths.[1] He was sent by Bishop Lupus of Sens to the region of Brie to proclaim the Christian faith.[2] Aspasius served as the Bishop of Éauze (modern-day Auch, France). He participated in the Second, Third, and Fifth Councils of Orléans in 533, 541, and 549, and also held a provincial council in 551.[3]
He is traditionally venerated in the French towns of Meaux and Melun. His feast day is January 2.[4]
