Dionysius of Caesarea in Palestine

Holy Martyr Dionysius of Caesarea in Palestine was the servant of the Holy Martyr Agapius, who was in prison with his master when the youths who had presented themselves of their own will to the governor were added there. He suffered in the time of Emperor Diocletian (284-305), at Caesarea in Palestine, together with Agapius, Publius, Timolaus, Romulus, two Alexanders and another Dionysius. They are commemorated on 28 March.

Agapius had endured torments for faith in Christ and was in prison with his servant, Dionysius, when there were thrown in Publius, Timolaus, Alexander, another Alexander, Dionysius and the subdeacon Romulus, who had bound their hands and presented themselves of their own will to the governor Urbanus. All were given over to terrible torments and beheaded with the sword.
