Martyr
Aphrodisius
One of eight martyrs commemorated together with Natalius, Romanus and Charalampus.
Life
Holy Martyr Aphrodisius is one of eight martyrs commemorated together on 30 May (new style): Natalius, Aphrodisius, Agapius, Eusebius, Romanus, Teletius, Charalampus and Christina.
The synaxarion preserves little about them. Saint Natalius died by the sword; Romanus, Teletius (also called Meletius) and Christina were put to the sword at Nicomedia, though Saint Christina's name does not appear in every synaxarion. About Aphrodisius the sources consulted say nothing particular: neither his place nor his time.
