Saint Euphrasius of Illiturgis (Spanish: San Eufrasio) is venerated as a Christian missionary of the 1st century, during the Apostolic Age.

[2] According to tradition, he is one of the group of Seven Apostolic Men (siete varones apostólicos), seven Christian clerics ordained in Rome by Saints Peter and Paul and sent to evangelize Spain.

Hesychius, Ctesiphon, Torquatus, Indaletius, and Secundius (Isicio, Cecilio, Tesifonte, Eufrasio, Hesiquio y Segundo).

[2] Euphrasius is also patron of Corsica and of Ajaccio; “this seems to have been due to a secondary translation of his relics.”[4] A relic of a kerchief found in a chapel behind the high altar of Jaén Cathedral is associated with a legend of St.

[5] According to one legend, when Saint Euphrasius came to Spain, he brought with him an image of the Virgin Mary to which he showed devotion.
