Life
Justus and Abundius were martyrs in Spain. For their Christian faith they were put to death in the time of the emperor Numerian. At first they were burned at the stake, but because the flames did not touch them, they were beheaded. They died in the year 283. Their feast is on 14 December.
They are honoured as saints of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
