Felix of Córdoba
martyr at Córdoba
Feast: 27 July (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Córdoba in Andalusia in Spain, the holy martyrs George, a deacon and Syrian monk, Aurelius and Sabigotona (Natalia), husband and wife, and Felix and Liliosa, likewise husband and wife, who during the persecution of the Moors, moved by the desire to bear witness to faith in Christ, were thrown into prison, never ceased to praise Christ, and at last died beheaded.
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 27 July as a married man beheaded at Córdoba with his wife Liliosa during the persecution of the Moors.
