Jeremias of Córdoba

Jeremias of Córdoba was a martyr in Córdoba, in Muslim-⁠ruled Spain, in the time of the emir Abd ar-⁠Rahman II. He was beheaded on 15 September 852, together with the deacon Emilas.

The sources describe the two as young men, thrown into prison and then condemned to death for their faith in Christ. No other details of his life before the martyrdom have survived.

He is not to be confused with the elder Jeremiah, founder of the monastery of Tábanos, who was put to death at Córdoba in 851 with five other martyrs.

He is remembered on 15 September. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honored mostly in the West; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
