Jacob the Presbyter

Holy Hieromartyr Jacob the Presbyter, called the Zealot, suffered in Persia, in the time of the persecution by the Persian king Shapur II, about the year 345. The calendar we rely on preserves no other details of his life or death; his commemoration appears together with that of the Holy Hieromartyr John, in the same persecution.

He is commemorated on 14 November (new style).
