After many years his body was transferred to Toulouse on this day

The liturgical calendar often preserves the memory of the faithful through the physical movements of their remains, and for this holy man, the defining moment of his posthumous legacy is the solemn translation of his body to Toulouse. For many years following his death, his earthly remains rested in a location unknown to the modern observer, separated from the community of believers who would come to revere him. The passage of time did not diminish his sanctity, but rather allowed the significance of his life to settle into the foundational history of the Church in the south of Gaul. It was only after a period of many years that his body was transferred to Toulouse on this day, an event that cemented his place in the ecclesiastical memory of the region.
