Description
Aurelius and Natalia (died 852) were a married Christian couple who were executed by Abd ar-Rahman II, the Emir of Córdoba for refusing to renounce their faith. They are considered martyrs and saints by the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Aurelius was born in Seville to a wealthy family. His father was a Muslim Arab and his mother a Christian Spaniard. Becoming a orphan as a child, Aurelius was raised by his aunt, who may have secretly been a Christian. At that time, Christians were being persecuted in the Moorish kingdoms in Spain.
When he was older, Aurelius, now a Christian, married Sabigotho, a girl from a Muslim family. After their marriage, Sabigotho decided to convert to Christianity and assumed the Christian name Natalia. Living in the Umayyad state of Córdoba, the couple had a daughter and secretly practised Christianity. At that time, it was a capital offense to convert from Islam to Christianity.
One day, Aurelius witnessed the public whipping of a Christian merchant who had publicly proclaimed his Christianity. Horrified by this event, Aurelius and Natalia decided that they could no longer hide their beliefs. They put aside funds for their daughter and gave the rest of their money to the poor. They then began to openly proclaim their faith and minister to Christians in prison
