Feast Day: 21 Jan. Fructuosus was the bishop of Tarragon, and Eulogus and Augurus were his deacons. They were arrested and burned alive in 259 during Valerian's persecution of Christians. The saints are not frequently venerated in France. However, Moissac had numerous possessions in the diocese of Gerona (Spain) and one of its dependencies in Toulouse was dedicated to St. Fructuosus.
