Life

Saint Secundus the Martyr is one of the Seven Apostolic Men commemorated on 15 May (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in a group of eight martyrs that also includes Simplicius, Torquatus, Ctesiphon, Indaletius, Caecilius, Hesychius and Euphrasius. The English calendar says that the seven were martyr bishops, ordained in Rome by the holy Apostles Peter and Paul and sent to preach the Gospel in Spain, in the first century. Their names are found in Western sources; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life.
