Saint Marian of Évreux, a 3rd-century priest and martyr, is a shadowy figure venerated in Normandy for his steadfast faith during Roman persecution. Born in Gaul, possibly in the early 200s, he served as a missionary priest in the region of Évreux, then called Mediolanum Aulercorum. Around 303 AD, during Diocletian’s brutal crackdown on Christians, Marian was arrested and executed—likely beheaded or tortured—for refusing to sacrifice to pagan gods. His martyrdom, though sparsely detailed, cemented his status as an early evangelist in northern France, with legends attributing his sanctity to his courage amid imperial terror. | Saint Marian of Évreux, a 3rd-century priest and martyr, is a shadowy figure venerated in Normandy for his steadfast faith during Roman persecution.
