Image of St. Emygdius

Bishop and martyr, also called Emidius. He was a pagan of Trier, Germany, who became a Christian. While visiting Rome, he destroyed a pagan temple. Pope St. Marcellus I or Marcellinus  sent him to Ascoli Piceno. There he suffered martyrdom with Eupolus, Germanus, and Valentius. This tradition is untrustworthy. Emygdius' relics are in Ascoli. He is a patron against earthquakes.
