Overview
- El Norte de Castilla’s daily entry for Thursday, November 6, 2025 names Saint Severus of Barcelona as the principal commemoration.
- Tradition places his origins in Sant Cugat del Vallés and his assumption of the Barcelona see around the year 300 during the Diocletian persecutions.
- No contemporary documentation describes his ministry, with martyrdom narratives preserved only in acta compiled after the 10th century.
- Barcelona preserves a late 17th‑century church dedicated to Saint Severus in the Gothic Quarter beside the cathedral.
- The listing also includes Alejandro Sauli, Esteban de Apt, Félix de Toniza, Iltuto de Gales, Leonardo de Noblac, Melanio de Rennes, Pablo de Constantinopla, Protasio de Lausanne, Teobaldo de Le Dorat, and Winoco de Taruanense, and it explains the onomástica custom linking name days to personal celebrations.
