Avitus of Rouen (died 325), also known as Avitien or Avidien was the third bishop in Rouen. He is also considered to be a Saint by the Roman Catholic Church

Biography

He was the third bishop of Rouen in Normandy, however his two predecessors are known largely as légende.[1] He is the first bishop historically attested by his presence, with Materne II, bishop of Cologne, at the first Council of Gaul in Arles in 314.[2][3] He succeeds Mellonius and settles in Rouen from 314.[4]

The Acta archiepiscoporum Rotomagensium tell us that "this blessed pontiff was an honest spirit, impeccable in his manners, and attentive to the salvation of souls under his charge".[5]

He is buried in the crypt of the Saint-Gervais church of Rouen, and his feast day is celebrated on 2 December.

gollark: No, lambda calculus is a relatively simple model you can understand fairly easily.
gollark: And with neural networks, you don't actually know *how* the network does its job, just that you feed in pixels and somehow get classification data out.
gollark: There is still not, as far as I know, an approach to detect what an object is other than just training neural networks on the task.
