Life

The Holy Martyrs Ramirus and Companions were monks of the monastery of Saint Claudius at León in Spain. Two days after the martyrdom of their abbot, Saint Vincent, Ramirus and all the other monks were put to death by the Arian Visigoths while they were singing the Creed. Orthodox England gives the date as about 554 or 630. They are venerated as saints of the undivided Church and are commemorated on 13 March (new calendar).
