Saint Fermin of Amiens (also Firmin from Latin Firminus; in Spanish Fermín; in Basque Fermin) is one of many locally venerated Catholic saints. Fermin is the co-patron of Navarre where his feast the ‘San Fermín’ in the capital Pamplona is forever associated with the Encierro or ‘Running of the Bulls’ made famous by Ernest Hemingway. Fermin was long venerated also at Amiens where he met martyrdom.
