Nov. 6–7 Santoral: San Severo of Barcelona and San Ernesto of Zwiefalten Lead Commemorations

Regional outlets offer routine feast-day notes grounded in tradition rather than new findings.

Overview

  • On November 6, the calendar honors San Severo of Barcelona, described as a bishop and martyr during Diocletian’s persecutions.
  • Reports highlight scarce contemporary documentation for Severo, noting that accounts of his martyrdom come from acts written after the 10th century.
  • Barcelona features a church dedicated to San Severo built in the late 17th century in the Gothic Quarter near the cathedral.
  • On November 7, the santoral commemorates San Ernesto of Zwiefalten, traditionally a 12th‑century abbot said to have died a martyr after capture during the Second Crusade.
  • The entries also list other saints for each date and explain the onomástica custom linking personal name days to the liturgical calendar.
