Eutropius of Orange was a 5th-century bishop who served the church in what is now France. Born into a noble family in Marseille, he lived a dissolute youth before experiencing a religious conversion following the death of his wife. Although he initially fled the responsibilities of his office, he returned to his duties after being encouraged by a holy man. During his twelve-year episcopate, he was noted for his deep piety and his willingness to perform manual labor alongside his followers.
