Servandus And Cermanus
Saints Servandus and Germanus ( es, San Servando y San Germán) (d. 305 AD) were Spanish martyrs who are venerated as Christian saints. They were killed near Cádiz. Tradition states that they were from Mérida, and sons of Saint Marcellus the Centurion. They joined the Roman Army and were imprisoned after being identified as Christians. They made new converts in prison. During the persecution of Diocletian, the ''vicarius'' of Mérida, Viator, tortured them and imprisoned them once again. Viator then planned to take them to Mauritania Tingitana and had them walk barefoot and in chains from Mérida to Cádiz. Viator failed to find a boat that could take them and they were decapitated on a hill of the ''fundus Ursianus'' in the ''conventus Gaditanus''. The body of Germanus was buried at Mérida and Servandus at Cádiz, and then later translated to Seville. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
