Emilian of Cogolla

Our venerable and God-bearing father Emilian of Cogolla, (Spanish; San Millán de la Cogolla), also Aemilian, or Emilian of the Cowl, was a hermit and priest in La Rioja, Spain of the sixth century whose life as a hermit attracted a following of laity and led to the founding of a mountain hermitage that became the Mozarabic Monastery of San Millan de la Cogolla. He is commemorated on November 12.
