Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Saint Aprus (or Aper, French: Apre, Epvre, Evre, Avre; died 507) was a bishop of Toul from 500 to 507. The brother of Saint Apronia (Evronie), he was born near Trier. He may have studied as a lawyer. After entering the priesthood, Aprus was appointed bishop of Toul.
Aprus' relics were rediscovered in 978. According to the Vita Sancti Gerardi, Bishop St. Gerard I of Toul (r. 963–994) had the relics of both St. Mansuy and Aprus brought into Toul and placed in the church of St. John the Baptist while he was ill.[1]
His feast day is 15 September.
