San Miglian Day in San Miglian de la Cogolla and Castile

Emiliano de la Cogolla (in Latin he sometimes appears as Æmilianus, Birth: November 12, 472 - Monastery of San Millán de Suso, 573) was a hermit, disciple of Felices de Bilibio, considered a saint. The relics of both saints are preserved in the Monastery of San Millán de Yuso.

The life of Millán was told, in Latin and for the first time, by Braulio de Zaragoza, bishop, fifty years after his death, indicating that his birthplace was Berdejo in a famous Vita Æmiliani.

In the 10th century, in the times of García Sánchez I of Navarre and Count Fernán González of Castile, the miracles of San Millán multiplied near his tomb and the monastery became a sacred place.
