Ctesiphon of Vergium

Holy Hierarch Ctesiphon of Vergium is one of the Seven Apostolic Men who preached the Gospel in Hispania; according to tradition he was the first bishop of Vergium (Berja, in southern Spain), whose patron he is. His relics are said to lie at the abbey of Sacromonte in Granada. The seven are remembered together on 15 May. The legend in its present form seems to date from the eighth century.
