Life
Holy Hierarch Nebridius of Egara was Bishop of Egara (now Terrassa) near Barcelona from 516 to 527 and then, according to Wikipedia, Bishop of Barcelona from 540 to about 547. He was a native of Girona and, according to tradition, had three brothers who were also saints: Justus, Bishop of Urgell, Elpidius and Justinian. He was very learned and wrote interpretations of Scripture and a work on the chants of the Church. Orthodox England gives only the year 527, and notes that the city of Egara was later destroyed. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 9 February (new calendar).
