Eulogius was born in Cordoba at the beginning of the 9th century. Ordained a priest, he dedicated himself to contemplation in monasteries near the city and to pastoral work. A trip through the center and north of the peninsula helped him to get to know the experience and mentality of the Christians who had freed themselves from the Muslim yoke.
The uneasiness of the Church in Cordoba due to the religious and social situation was especially noticeable in the year 851. It was tolerated, but threatened with extinction. There was violent repression, and many Christians ended up in prison and martyrdom. St. Eulogius knew how to remain firm in the defense of the faith and was archbishop-elect of Toledo.
Historian of the martyrs and their apologist, relief and encouragement for the Christian community, St. Eulogius encouraged everyone at the time of martyrdom, and died in 859, condemned for having hidden and catechized a young convert girl, named Leocricia (Lucrecia), whom the Church celebrates on March 15, whose throat was slit four days after St. Eulogius.
