Leontius of Terracina

Holy Martyr Leontius of Terracina was a hypatikos, probably in the service of the governor of Terracina, Loxorius. Seeing the miracle wrought through the prayer of the deacon Caesarius, he fell on his knees before the saint and believed in Christ. The Christian presbyter Julian baptized him before the people and gave him communion of the Holy Mysteries. At once, at the saint's prayer, Leontius gave up his spirit.

Although he escaped the torments that soon came upon Julian and Caesarius, their commemoration is kept together. Saint Leontius is commemorated on 20 October, according to the Greek calendar, and his name is not in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
