AMATUS (Saint) Bishop (August 31) (12th century) The life of this Saint has been written by several authors, but they disagree considerably even as to the century in which he lived. The most likely account of him is that he was of noble birth, a native of the South of Italy, that he distributed all his worldly goods to the poor, became a priest, and afterwards a monk in the Abbey of Monte Vergine. There he worked miracles, and eventually (it would appear under the Pontificate of Pope Adrian IV), was chosen Bishop of Nusco. The year of his death is given as A.D. 1193. But there are reputable authors who date his Episcopate a century earlier.

AMATOR (Saint) Bishop (November 26) (3rd century) A citizen of Autun (France), and afterwards Bishop of that city. He organised the Church of the Aedui (the Gallic tribes between the Saone and the Loire), and appears to have been Bishop among them in A.D. 270. His body was interred at Autun, near the shrine of the Martyr Saint Symphorian, who had suffered there in the preceding century.

AMATOR (AMATRE, AMADOUR) (Saint) Bishop (May 1) (5th century) A disciple of Saint Valerian, Bishop of Auxerre, and the husband of a holy woman venerated locally as Saint Martha. By mutual agreement, Saint Martha entered a convent and Saint Amator received Holy Orders, and later succeeded Eladius as Bishop of Auxerre (A.D. 306). In his turn he was succeeded by the famous Saint Germanus, whom he had ordained. Saint Amator was buried (A.D. 418) in the church which he had built in honour of the Martyr Saint Symphorian, and which later bore his own name.

AMARANTHUS (Saint) M. (November 7) (3rd century) Said to have suffered martyrdom at Vieux, near Albi, in the south of France in the third century. Little or nothing is known about him, save what we can glean from Saint Gregory of Tours, who says that he had read the account of his martyrdom. He appears, however, to have been widely venerated in ancient times. Saint Eugene of Carthage, banished from Africa, came to die at the tomb of Saint Amaranthus. The relics of both Saints are enshrined in the Cathedral of Albi.
