Life
Holy Martyr Serapion lived in the time of the emperor Septimius Severus (193-211). In the persecution of Christians he was seized and brought to trial before the governor Aquila, where he boldly confessed his faith. The pagans were enraged, tortured him cruelly and shut him in prison. The Savior strengthened him with a miraculous appearance and healed him of his wounds. When the pagans saw him again at the trial completely unharmed, they were furious and condemned him to be burned. The martyr committed his soul to the Lord on the pyre, in the year 205.
The Church of Georgia commemorates him on 13 July (old style; 26 July new style).
