Martyr
Apollonius
A martyr of the early Christian centuries, put to death around 300.
Life
Holy Martyr Apollonius was, according to tradition, a native of Sardis in Lydia, in Asia Minor, and died for Christ about the year 300, at Iconium, in the time of Emperor Decius (249-251) or Valerian (253-259). He is commemorated on 10 July (new style).
Found to be a Christian, he was seized. When they tried to force him to swear by the name of the emperor, he refused, saying it was not fitting to swear by the name of a mortal man. He was tortured for a long time and then crucified.
Commemorated the same day July 10
