Life

Holy Martyr Diodorus suffered for Christ together with Saint Rhodopianus the deacon, in the time of the emperor Diocletian (around the year 302), in the city of Aphrodisias in Caria, in Asia Minor.

For their faith in Christ they endured many insults and floggings from the soldiers of the city, and then were stoned to death and gave up their souls to God, the Giver of the crown. He is commemorated on 3 May, according to the new calendar.
