Life

Pexertus is a supposed martyr whose relics are venerated in the parish church of Buciños, in Carballedo, Galicia. His name comes from the only evidence, a marble slab with the Latin inscription PEGERTVS. Bishop José Antonio Ribadeneira, born at Buciños, received in Rome in 1830 the body of a martyr from the catacombs of Saint Callistus, with the vessel of his blood and the slab bearing the chi-⁠rho monogram. The ashes had been found in January 1823. Three years later he gave the relics to the bishop of Lugo. The veneration is recent. The feast is on 9 September.
