Saint Taurinus was a Gallo-Roman bishop who lived during the late fourth and early fifth centuries. Born in Rome to a Christian mother, he was baptized by Pope Clement I and is traditionally recognized as the first bishop of Évreux. According to historical legends, he was instrumental in converting the local population to Christianity by replacing pagan sites with churches. He is remembered as a martyr and a powerful miracle worker who reportedly raised the dead, leading to significant numbers of new believers in the region.
