Saint Isaac of Córdoba mug linked to the Cordoban martyrs

The image shows the martyrs’ silver reliquary on an altar in the church of San Pedro. It is a photograph of the veneration of the group to which Isaac belongs. The name on the other side identifies the particular saint, while the image recalls the collective memory preserved there. If you have visited the church or read about the martyrs of Córdoba, the gift can recall that experience.

Isaac received an education that included knowledge of Arabic and worked in the administration of the emirate’s revenues. He left that position to enter the monastery of Tábanos, near Córdoba. Christian accounts of his life place him in the monastic environment known to Eulogius. This journey provides a context for dedicating the keepsake to someone interested in the city’s religious history, connecting a personal gift with the subject they enjoy exploring.
