Saint Felices de Bilibio

Felix of Bilibio, known in Spanish as San Felices de Bilibio, was a 5th-century hermit and holy man in Roman Spain. Felix is mentioned in the Vita Aemiliani, a biography of Saint Aemilianus written by Braulio of Zaragoza in 635–640. He was apparently born in the first half of the 5th century and met Aemilianus late in the same century. He lived at the castellum of Bilibio in what is today La Rioja. According to Braulio, Felix came to be regarded as a saint. In 1090, his relics were transferred from Bilibio to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla (named after Aemilianus). In 1109–1110, at the request of his abbot, the monk Grimaldo de San Millán wrote two works of hagiography celebrating Felix, known together as the Translatio et miracula sancti Felicis presbyteri ('Translation and Miracles of holy Felix the elder'). It recounts the transfer of his relics and eight miracles attributed to the saint's intervention between 1090 and 1098.
