Peter the Monk

Peter the Monk was a monk and martyr in Córdoba, in Muslim-⁠ruled Spain, put to death on 30 April 855, in the time of the emir Muhammad I.

He died together with the priest Amator, born at Martos near Córdoba, and the layman Luis, brother of the martyr Paul of San Zoilo, for speaking against Islam and confessing the Christian faith. The sources say no more about his life.

He is remembered on 30 April, as a saint of the undivided Church, mostly in the West; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
