[1][2] Gregory is a Saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church, which celebrates his feast day on 4 January.
[3] Descendant of a rich family of Senators, he was count and governor of Autun and Autunois.
It is about this date that he founded the abbey Saint-Bénigne of Dijon and made place the relics of this apostle of Burgundy in the basilica.
The legend tells us that one of the clerics watching him one day saw the revered saints coming to sing and glorify God with him.
He ordered the translation of the relics of Saint Benigne, and built the church and the abbey of Saint-Bénigne of Dijon which serve as their tomb.
