Martyr
Onesimus
Christian martyred for the faith of Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Onesimus is commemorated with the Holy Martyrs Archippus and Philemon; the time of their lives is not known.
Archippus was tied to the tails of horses, which, setting off at a gallop, tore his body apart. Philemon was crucified, and Onesimus was put to the sword. In some calendars the martyrs Apollonius, Alexandrion, who was killed on the wheel, and Epimachus, put to the sword, are also named with them. The relics of Archippus and his companions were in the martyrion in the Elaia quarter of Constantinople.
Their memory is kept on 19 July, in the new style.
