Jeremiah, Companion of Emila

Who they were

At Córdoba in Andalusia in Spain, the holy martyrs Emila, deacon, and Jeremiah, who, during the persecution by the Moors, after being long left to rot in prison, completed their martyrdom for Christ by beheading.

The miracles

There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 15 September as a martyr at Córdoba who, after a long imprisonment under the Moors, was beheaded for Christ.
