Life
The Holy Hieromartyrs Emilas and Jeremiah were two young clerics of Córdoba in Spain, slain for faith in Christ in the year 852. Emilas was a deacon. Both were thrown into prison and then beheaded, in the time of the Caliph Abd al-Rahman, among the martyrs of Córdoba who suffered under Muslim rule. They are commemorated on 15 September, as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no further details.
