Isaakios the Persian of Metsovo

Holy Martyr Isaakios the Persian of Metsovo was one of three Persian martyrs, Isaac, Simeon and Bakhtisoes, burned alive for Christ in the time of the emperor Constantine the Great (306-337) and the Persian king Shapur II (309-379). They are commemorated on 16 May.

The Synaxarion of Constantinople says that they were brought before King Shapur and confessed their faith in Christ, after which they were condemned to be burned. The verses of the Synaxarion say that the three died in one fire, of one mind. Other details of their lives have not been preserved.
