Serapion

Saint Serapion was a reader of the Church of Cyrene, in the Pentapolis of Libya, in the fourth century. With Bishop Theodore of Cyrene, the deacon Irenaeus and the reader Ammonius, his tongue was cut out, probably in the persecution of Diocletian. But he survived the torment and died in peace, during a lull in the persecution.

They are commemorated on 26 March, by the church calendar: Theodore as a hieromartyr, and Irenaeus, Serapion and Ammonius as martyrs and confessors.
