ST. Fermin BISHOP MARTYRS Feast Day: September 25 
Patron Saint of: Navarre, Spain

Saint Fermín was a faithful bishop who celebrated his faith right up until the moment he became a martyr. After his own conversion to Christianity, he spent his days preaching the faith, went on mission to France, and baptized many people throughout the country.

In the centuries after his death, Legend has it that he was dragged to death by a bull, but in fact he was beheaded. Despite the legend being untrue, each year in Pamplona, Spain during the week-long Festival de San Fermín in July, thousands of people participate in “The Running of the Bulls.” Twelve bulls chase men and women down the narrow streets, often causing severe injuries and occasional deaths.

San Fermin is the patron saint of Pamplona, Spain. He is also the co-patron saint of the Region of Navarra
