according to a passion of the eighth century, it is a 9 year old, martyr Sinomovicus, near Beauvais. Saint-Just was Auxerre party with her father to deliver her uncle, captive in Amiens. Continued on the way home, the father and uncle are hidden while the child is exposed only at the peril. It is then decapitated. The place of the martyr lies Sinomovicus (Saint-Just in Causeway). When the father and uncle come out of hiding, they saw the corpse sat, head in her lap. The language begins to speak: it is addressed to God, but also to the companions of the child, who are responsible to bring the head to the mother, remained at Auxerre. This story is the origins of cephalophore. (From Ledger Saints Worship and Iconography in the West by Jacques Baudoin)
