Hermit of legend, also called Amator. Tradition records that he was a servant in the house of the Holy Family. He is supposed to have married St. Veronica, going with her to Gaul (modern France) where they spread the Christian faith around Bordeaux. Amadour is also recorded as having gone to Rome to witness the martyrdom of Sts. Peter and Paul. He returned to Gaul and after the death of St. Veronica he became a hermit at Quircy, France, where he built a shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A shrine called Rocamadour did exist and was a great pilgrimage site at one time.

Saint Amadour Amator aimee l'epouse de Sainte Veronique, pray for us all; pray even for soul Tiberius that snatched our Jesus' Holy Veil, and those minnows he cured with it, regardless of what they ail; pray for us hermits many in all of Earth's good climes, and all the Angels plenty who aid us in God's eternal times; pray thy Grace and Jesus' and Mary's flow sweetly to the seas from your Garonne river eyrie, singing solo Kyrie-Christe eleisons through Bordeaux and o'er th'Atlantic, here, towards us, Amen Dieu te Benisse, et Sainte Veronique aussi, ainsi soyent il & elle, Pater
