Saint Saturius of Soria (493–568) is a hermit-saint of Spain. Born in Soria, Saturius, according to Christian tradition, dedicated himself to a life of solitude and prayer. He took care of his parents until their death, after which Saturius gave away his inheritance to the poor and at the age of forty, retired to a cave on the hill of Santa Ana. He lived for the rest of his days in complete austerity and dedicated himself to mortifications of the flesh.
