Life

Holy Hieromartyr Asias of Constantinople was a bishop and martyr at Constantinople in the time of iconoclasm, under the emperor Leo the Isaurian. The Roman Martyrology names him Asianus, with the bishop Hypatius and the priest Andrew, defenders of the veneration of icons, who were fed to dogs after harsh tortures. He is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology on 20 September (Gregorian calendar).
