Who they were

Saint Victoria was a martyr of Córdoba, in Hispania. She suffered martyrdom during the Diocletianic Persecution along with her brother Acisclus. They were mentioned by St. Eulogius. Victoria and Acisclus are considered the first saints of Cordoba, and are celebrated on 17 November (though their feast day was previously 27 June). There is doubt about the historical veracity of Victoria's existence, but both martyrs were honored in Mozarabic liturgical rites.
