The Origin of Saint Taurinus
Born in Rome to a heathen father and a devout Christian mother, Taurinus was baptized by none other than Pope Clement I himself, with Denis the Areopagite as his godfather. Taurinus later became the first bishop of Évreux and evangelized the region.
Saint Taurinus is known for his dedication to the Virgin Mary, but even more so for his miracles and exorcisms! According to legend, he faced a demon in Évreux that took the form of a lion, a bear, and a buffalo, which he expelled from the local temple of Diana and converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Talk about a wild exorcism! But that’s not all. Taurinus raised a girl named Euphrasia from the dead after she died in a fire and also brought back Marinus, the son of the local prefect who fell into a hole and died from the impact. These miraculous resurrections led to over a thousand converts.
