Martyr
Acolouthus
A martyr of the Thebaid in Egypt who suffered around 303.
Life
Holy Martyr Acolouthus was from the Thebaid of Egypt. He suffered in the year 303, in the time of the Emperor Galerius Maximian (286-305). A fervent Christian, he preached the word of God and was therefore arrested; because he refused to sacrifice to the idols, he was tortured without mercy and then thrown on the pyre, where he received the unfading crown of martyrdom.
He is commemorated on 19 May, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece; the synaxarion also remembers him, on 14 May, in a group of three martyrs with Alexander and Barbarus, put to the sword.
