Nunilo
Christian martyr
Feast: 21 October (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Nunilo and Alodia (also called Nunilone and Alódia; died c. 851) were a pair of child martyrs from Huesca in north-eastern Spain. They appear in the Roman Martyrology and in the calendars of the Mozarabic rite. Their martyrdom is described by Eulogius of Córdoba in 851 in his account of the Cordoban martyrs in the Memoriale Sanctorum, even though they were from Huesca because of their addition to the Roman Martyrology. Eulogius describes in the Sanctorum how religiously mixed families functioned during the early Islamic period. According to art historian Julie Harris, the sisters "received more detailed treatment" in the Passional of Cardeña, during the eleventh century.
