Life
Holy New Martyr Peter of the Peloponnese, a native of Tripolis, was hanged by the Turks in 1776 at Odemis in Asia Minor. He is commemorated on 1 January.
It is not known for what reasons he was seized by the Turks at Odemis (Temisi), but, pressed to accept the Quran, he remained unshaken in the faith of his fathers. For this he was hanged and received the crown of martyrdom.
