Félix de Alcalá
Spanish monk (0830-0853)
Feast: 14 June (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Córdoba in Andalusia in Spain, Saints Anastasius, priest, Felix, monk, and Digna, virgin, martyrs, who all died together on the same day: Anastasius, having confessed his Christian faith before the Moorish consuls, was promptly run through with the sword, and with him also Felix, of Gaetulian origin, who had professed the Catholic faith in Asturias and led a monastic life; Digna, still very young, who at the killing of her companions had bravely reproached the judge, was beheaded without delay.
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 14 June as a monk of Gaetulian origin put to the sword at Córdoba with Saints Anastasius and Digna.
