Saint Benignus of Dijon was an early missionary and martyr who is honored as the first herald of Christianity in Dijon. Ancient tradition associates him with the evangelization of Burgundy and with the conversion of Saint Symphorian of Autun.
Benignus remained faithful to Christ during persecution and gave his life for the Gospel. His tomb became a place of Christian remembrance, and the Basilica of Saint-Bénigne in Dijon bears witness to the enduring veneration of this early martyr.
