Life

Gumersindus of Córdoba was a priest in Córdoba, in Muslim-⁠ruled Spain, and received the crown of martyrdom on 13 January 852, in the time of the emir Abd ar-⁠Rahman II.

The sources say little about him. He was a parish priest, and he was put to death at Córdoba together with the monk Servusdei for confessing the Christian faith before the Muslim authorities.

He is remembered on 13 January. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honored mostly in the West; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
