Saint Roderick

Saint Roderick (/ˈrɒd(ə)rɪk/; Latin: Rodericus, Rudericus; Spanish: San Rodrigo; died 13 March 857) was a Christian priest of Mozarab background, venerated as one of the Martyrs of Córdoba.

Tradition states that he was a Christian priest of Cabra who had two brothers: one was a Muslim, the other irreligious.

When Roderick maintained his loyalty to the Christian faith, he was accused of apostasy from Islam under Sharia law.

St. Roderick's Convent and Hospital in Cabra, established in the 16th century, bears his name.
