^Melchisedek was a contemporary of our forefather
Abraham. According to the words of the
Apostle Paul he was a king, priest and proto-type of the
Lord Jesus Christ (
Hebrews 7).[3] He is also commemorated on the Sunday before the
Nativity of the Lord (i.e. the Sunday of the Holy Fathers, which falls between December 18 and December 24 each year).
^The first
Bishop of Angoulême was Ausonius, a disciple, it is said, of
St. Martial, concerning whom we have two historical authorities:
St. Gregory of Tours, who held that St. Martial preached the gospel in
Limoges about the year 250, and the Limousin traditions, transmitted or invented by the chronicler
Adhémar de Chabannes, who maintained that St. Martial was the immediate disciple of St. Peter. According to the latter opinion St. Ausonius was a bishop of the 1st century; according to the former, of the 3rd century.
^Some people have argued that he is the same person as
Marcian of Tortona (c. 120).
^St. Helen of Auxerre is mentioned in the writings of Saint
Agapetos (Amator), bishop of Auxerre (418) (
May 1). She was the one who looked after him when he was ill.
^John was born in Parma, Italy, and early in life was made a canon of the cathedral there. He is said to have made six pilgrimages to Jerusalem and to have taken the Benedictine habit in the Holy Land.
