S. HONORINA, V. M.

(DATE UNKNOWN.)

[Some Gallican Martyrologies.]

Nothing whatever is known of this saint. The author of the history of

the translation of her relics to Conflans, near Pontoise, a short

distance from Paris, says that her virtues, her merits, and her mode

of passion, are utterly unknown. So also is the date of her death. The

relics were translated about the year A.D. 912. As an instance of the

manner in which confusion has arisen in the lives and acts of martyrs

of an early date, it is deserving of mention that in the church of

Quimper, the Matin lections for the feast of S. Honorina are portions

of the Acts of S. Dorothea, transferred to Feb. 27th, to do duty for

the unrecorded S. Honorina.
