Sisinius of Cyzicus

Holy Confessor Sisinius of Cyzicus was bishop of Cyzicus in Asia Minor, now Turkey. In the persecution of Diocletian he was condemned to death: they tied him behind a horse to drag him through the city to the end. Sisinius, however, survived, and fell asleep in the year 325.

The Church honours him as a confessor, that is, one who confessed Christ before the persecutors without dying by the shedding of blood. He is commemorated on 23 November (new style).
