ABSTRACT
Life of S. Cucuphas. He was born in Scillis, a province of Carthage. From his urge to preach the Christian faith, he traveled to Barcino, the current Barcelona. During his time in Barcino, Cucuphas was arrested and tortured by supporters of emperor Diocletian. Legend has it that Cucufas was initially persecuted by the prefect Galerius, who let him lashed. This torture happened with such violence that spectators could see his guts. Secondly the prisoner was roasted over a fire and eventually condemned to the stake. Nevertheless, a divine intervention made sure that Cucufas remained unscathed. In the end the Roman prefect Rufus ordered Cucufas’ throat cut in the year 304.
