Exuperius or Exupernis is venerated as a saint and martyr by the Catholic Church; according to tradition, he was the standard-bearer of the Theban Legion[Henry Wace, "A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines" (1880), 439.] and thus a companion to Saint Maurice. ]Veneration
Exuperius’ relics were translated in the 10th century to Gembloux Abbey. This translation was performed by the monastery’s founder, Saint Guibert (Guibertus), who dedicated the monastery in honor of Saint Peter and Saint Exuperius.
