Saint Helen of Auxerre

Feast day: May 22

Biography

Elena of Auxerre (died Auxerre, 5th century) was a Frankish martyr. The biographer of Bishop Saint Amator, Stephen of Africa, reports that Elena was among the faithful gathered in the church when the bishop died on May 1, 418. From this, it is inferred that by 575, when Stephen wrote the life of Saint Amator, her cult was already established in Auxerre.
