Gregory of Tours writes of miracles performed by Veranus, including the expulsion of a dragon. He is also remembered as a leader in charitable works and as a patron of local monasteries, not only in France but also in Italy, particularly in the city of Albenga, where he was instrumental in the conversion of the people to Christianity.

In the early 11th century some of his relics were transferred from his place of burial to Orléans. In the 13th century most were transferred again, to Cavaillon Cathedral, which is dedicated to him, but some were sent to Albenga Cathedral in Liguria, where they are still preserved in a shrine.

Placenames

The French village of Saint-Véran is named after him.[1]

In Fontaine de Vaucluse there is a church called after the Saint. It was the place of his birth and in the small church there is a tomb reputed to be that of the Saint.

Notes
  1. In the U.S., localities seemingly dedicated to the saint, such as Fort Saint Vrain, Colorado, and St. Vrain, New Mexico, as well as the St. Vrain Creek in Colorado, are mostly derived from Ceran St. Vrain (May 5, 1802 - October 28, 1870), co-founder of the Bent-St. Vrain Company.

The deployment status of bees is to be considered part of the Game State. If bees are used on a player they lose 1 point. Bees are not considered a resource and if they are deployed an unlimited amount of bee-related actions may be taken.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be ended if they have existed for 12 hours, rather than the usual 24. When a Bee Poll ends, if there are more votes for the Bee Poll than against it, the Bee Poll passes. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll.
gollark: What? I'm going to just cancel the existing proposal and make one creating the bee section and bee rules section 1.
gollark: Wait, maybe it should create a bee *section* too.

gollark: How specific must I be about bee polls? Can I just say it "follows the rules for proposal voting"?
