Pedro de Córdoba and fellow martyrs

Martyrs

(+851) In the 9th century, in the city of Córdoba, Spain, the public declaration of their Christian faith was enough to be sentenced to death by Abd al-Rahman II, and thus many Christians were beheaded, hanged or impaled and their corpses burned to disperse the ashes to the wind.

Biography

Among them are the priest Pedro, a native of Écija, who lived in the Cuteclara monastery, the deacon Walabonso, the monks Isaac and Sabiniano and the noble citizen Habencio.

Practical advice

In the midst of your ordinary work, respond to evil with a concrete work of good with external order and internal recollection.
