Apronian

Saint Apronian was an executioner, according to other accounts a notary, of Rome who was converted to the Orthodox faith, and he received martyrdom around 304 on the Via Salaria.

While he was still a pagan and was leading the martyr Sisinnius out of prison to the tribunal of the governor Laodicius, he heard a voice from heaven saying, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. At once he believed, was baptized and, after confessing the Lord, received sentence of death.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 2 February (new style).
