Flamidianus

Saint Flamidianus of Conflent, also called Flamidianus of Cuixà or Flemidianus, is a martyr venerated in the monastery of Sant Miquel de Cuixà in the Catalan Pyrenees. He is probably a legendary saint. His name appears in old sources linked to the monastery, in the calendar of saints in the Cuixà gospel book, where he has his own commemoration on 5 January, like other saints of the place (Germanus, Nazarius and Valentine). No earlier witness exists.

His body rested at Cuixà, where he had an altar in one of the apses of the church. Abbot Oliba moved it, with other relics, to the crypt of the Crib, at the feet of the icon of the Mother of God. The veneration was local and spread through the diocese of Elne. Joan Amades says, without naming his source, that he died a martyr under the fictitious governor Dacian at the beginning of the fourth century; Domènec says only that he was a martyr and died on a 25 December. His body may have been brought from Rome or may be that of an unknown martyr. A later legend makes him a monk of the monastery, its steward and almoner, whose grain and money never ran out however much he gave to the poor. He appears in the Acta Sanctorum but not in the official martyrologies of the Catholic Church.
