ON SAINTS VERA AND SUPPORINA, AT CLERMONT IN GAUL.

Commentary

Vera, at Clermont in Gaul (St.) Supporina, at Clermont in Gaul (St.)

In no Martyrologies, not even the Gallican of Saussay, have we found the names of Saints Vera and Supporina: nor do we know for certain whether they were Virgins or not, whether Martyrs or departed in a peaceful death. We have nevertheless thought they should be placed here, with St. Artemius, in whose church at Clermont their bodies were once buried, as we have said from the old book on the Saints and Churches of Clermont, when treating of St. Artemius. After that church was destroyed, we do not know where their remains were taken.
