Biography
Aurea of Paris, venerated as Saint Aurea of Paris, was an abbess of Saint Martial in Paris in the seventh century. Dagobert I and Clovis II ruled at the time. Her feast day before the Great East-West Schism of 1054 was universally 4 October, and remains so in the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church does not recognise any post-Schism Catholics as saints. The Catholic celebration of her feast was transferred to 5 October following their veneration of St Francis of Assisi.
