Everything about Aurelius And Natalia totally explained
Aurelius and Natalia (died
852) were
Christian martyrs who were put to death during the reign of
Abd ar-Rahman II,
Caliph of Córdoba, and are counted among the
Martyrs of Córdoba.
Aurelius was the son of a
Muslim father and a Christian mother. He was also secretly a follower of
Christianity, as was his wife Natalia, who was also the child of a Muslim father. One of Aurelius's cousins, Felix, accepted
Islam for a short time, but later converted back to Christianity and married a Christian woman, Liliosa. Under
Sharia Law, all four of them were required to profess Islam. In time all four began to openly profess their Christianity, with the two women going about in public with their faces unveiled. They were all swiftly arrested as
apostates from
Islam. They were given four days to recant, but they refused, and were beheaded. They were martyred with a local
monk, George, who had openly spoken out against the prophet
Mohammed. He had been offered a pardon as a foreigner, but chose instead to denounce Islam again and die with the others.
They are considered
saints in the
Roman Catholic Church, with a
feast day of
July 27.
