St. Fermin lived during the early 3rd century AD, a time when Christians faced severe persecution under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. He is believed to have been born in either Pamplona or Amiens, though his exact birthplace is debated.

Fermin is credited with spreading Christianity to the Navarre region of northern Spain, where he became the first bishop of Pamplona. He was a fervent missionary, establishing Christian communities and guiding them in the faith despite the threat of Roman authorities. His work was instrumental in laying the foundation for Christianity in Spain.

As a bishop, he was committed to strengthening the Church, guiding his flock, and standing firm in his beliefs. However, due to the harsh persecution of Christians, Fermin was eventually arrested by Roman officials. He was tortured and beheaded for refusing to renounce his faith around the year 303 AD. His martyrdom is a testament to his unwavering commitment to Christ.

St. Fermin's body was initially buried in Pamplona, and over time, his veneration spread throughout Spain. He is considered the patron saint of Pamplona, and his feast day is celebrated with great devotion, particularly during the San Fermín Festival in Pamplona.
