Saint Obdulia
Feast day: September 5
Biography
Obdulia was a nun, virgin, and martyr whose history has been lost. She is considered a saint in the Catholic faith. The only available information suggests her existence and status. The Catholic Church commemorates her feast day on September 5. The date of her martyrdom is unknown, though some sources date it to the year 361. The city of Toledo, Spain, venerates her, considers her its daughter, and houses her remains. Her feast day is celebrated on September 5. The Toledan Missal of 1499 and the Mozarabic Missal both place her feast on that date. The book *Santos y Beatos de Toledo*, citing Antonio Martín Gamero, indicates that the Mozarabs of Toledo, among others in Córdoba, purchased the relics of Saint Obdulia, a Toledan virgin and martyr from the time of Julian the Apostate, during the reign of Muhammad I.
