Namesake

Saint Firmin was born in Pampalona, Spain during the 3rd century AD to a Roman of senatorial rank. He later converted to Christianity, and traveled to Amiens, France where he built a church and eventually became a bishop. Amiens was also the city where Saint Firmin was martyed. To honor Saint Firmin the city established Los Sanfermines, the Feastival of St. Firmin, a week long celebration featuring food, drink, music, and bull fights. Los Sanfermines has become Spains most famous festival due to its signature event, the Running of the Bulls, which was first made famous by Ernest Hemingway in The Sun Also Rises. Who better to be the namesake for a [CSUN] Matador?
