Photo camera in hand: saint Austremoine church. Views of Auvergne.

Saint Austremoine church in the town of Issoire in the department of Puy de Dome. From History of the Franks: Under emperor Decius it rose against the Christian name many persecutions, and they made such a large carnage of the faithful that they could count them… Valentinian and Novatian, the main heads of heretics at the insinuation by the enemy of God, attacked our faith. In that time seven men appointed bishops, were sent to preach in Gaul, as reported in the story of the passion of the holy martyr Saturnin. Under the consulate Decius and Gratus, according to a souvenir faithful, the city of Toulouse had the first and greatest bishop, Saint Saturnin. Here are those who were sent: Gatien, bishop in Tours; Trophime in Arles; Paul Narbonne; Saturnin in Toulouse; Denis in Paris, Stremon Austremoine in Auvergne and Martial in Limoges.
