Today, Monday March 13, the Catholic Church honors San Rodrigo.
San Rodrigo was a priest from Córdoba who suffered martyrdom during the Muslim invasion. They were the times of the reign of Mohamed I, son of Abderramán II, in the emirate of Córdoba.
A brother of his, a Muslim, seriously attacked him and paraded him around the city to demonstrate his faith and fanaticism towards Muhammad. He was beheaded in the year 857 for not wanting to renounce his faith.
He is the patron saint of the town of Cabra (Córdoba).
The Catholic saints are the group of people recognized by the Church as saints or blessed on a specific date. The Roman Martyrology is the document that names and distributes in the calendar the almost 7,000 saints and blessed recognized by the Church.
