Helladius of Auxerre (died 387) was the bishop of Auxerre for thirty years from 357 until his death.[1] St. Amator (died 418) was converted to Christianity, ordained a deacon and tonsured by Helladius,[2] which provides the earliest example of ecclesiastical tonsure mentioned in the religious history of France.[3]
He is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church, being commemorated on 8 May.[2][4][5]
