Emetherius of Calahorra

Saint Emetherius of Calahorra was born around the year 270 in Calahorra and is remembered as a faithful Christian whose life was shaped by military service. Though few details of his story have come down to us, his enduring place in the Church’s memory speaks to a witness that strengthened the faith of those who followed. Honored especially in places that look to his intercession—among them Emeteria and Roquetas de Mar—Emetherius remains a quiet but steadfast figure of devotion, inviting believers to serve God with courage and integrity in whatever duties they carry. His feast is kept on March 3, a day to ask for the grace to persevere in faith amid the demands of daily life.
