According to later hagiographical tradition, Mars lived as a hermit in a cave near Royat, in the Auvergne region of present-day France. He is said to have gone on to found a monastic community near Clermont-Ferrand, where he served as abbot.


The 6th-century bishop and historian [[Gregory of Tours]] mentions Mars and reports that he was regarded as a wonder-worker. Gregory relates that Mars healed his father of a serious fever simply by giving him a blessing.

'''A saint could have characteristics like Widow'''

example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q153024

'''If a saint was mentioned by another person in his writings then I can use the Described by Source property to reference it.'''

example: Saint Jerome mentioned Saint Lea in his letters https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q273987

'''There are times the saint's religious order will dictate his or her occupation.'''

example: Saint Walter of Pontoise is a monk and abbot of the Benedictine Religious Order so his Occupation needs can be set as Benedictine Monk https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q520413

==== '''Checklist''' ====
Confirm the saint’s century and historical context before adding any role or title, and use only terms that are supported by a reliable source for that period.

example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q273987

* Saint Lea is a Prioress and in a modern context she could be considered as a nun but the terminology was not yet used during the 4th century.
* instead of nuns, a more appropriate period term could be consecrated virgins, widows, deaconesses, ascetics, or abbesses in later-developed monastic communities.
