Valentine of Segovia

Holy Martyr Valentine of Segovia was a Hispano-⁠Gothic hermit and martyr, beheaded around 715. He was the brother of Saint Frutos of Segovia and Saint Engratia, who all three lived at Sepúlveda in Castile in Spain.

According to tradition, Valentine and Engratia were killed by the Moors, while Frutos escaped and reposed as a hermit. The three are honored as patrons of the city of Segovia, where their relics are kept. They are commemorated on 25 October, by the Western calendar (new style). He is not to be confused with other saints named Valentine, such as the bishop of Terni or the bishop of Rhaetia. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
