context_page_description: Saint Honoratus of Amiens was the seventh bishop of Amiens. His feast day is May 16.
context_section_description: His devotion was widespread in France following reports of numerous miracles when his body was exhumed in 1060.
  After his death, his relics were invoked against drought.  Bishop Guy, son of the Count of Amiens, ordered that a procession be held, in which an urn holding Honoratus' relics were carried around the walls of the city.  Rain is said to have fallen soon after. In 1240, during construction of the cathedral of Amiens, the relics of Honoratus were carried through the surrounding countryside in a quest for funds.
  In 1202, a baker named Renold Theriens (Renaud Cherins) donated to the city of Paris some land to build a chapel in honor of the saint.  The chapel became one of the richest in Paris, and gave its name to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.  In 1400, the bakers of Paris established their guild in the church of Saint Honoratus, celebrating his feast on 16 May and spreading his cult.
  He is also the patron of a Carthusian establishment at Abbeville, which was founded in 1306.
  In 1659, Louis XIV ordered that every baker observe the feast of Saint Honoratus, and give donations in honor of the saint and for the benefit of the community.
  He is the namesake of the St. Honoré Cake.
  A statue of Honoratus stands in the portal of Amiens Cathedral.
