Moses of Rome

Saint Moses of Rome, hieromartyr, was a priest in Rome, noted for his zeal in preaching the Gospel and his firm stand against the Novatian heresy. He suffered for the faith in the time of the Emperor Decius and died in prison, in 251.

In the Orthodox calendar he is commemorated on 25 November (New Calendar) as a saint of the undivided Church; another Moses, a martyr of North Africa, is commemorated on 18 December.
