Straton

Holy Martyr Straton lived in Bithynia and was seized by the local governor and tortured in various ways. Then they tied his hands to the branches of two cedars that had been bent down to the ground; afterwards they let them go, and the saint was torn in two. This happened in the time of the tyrant Licinius (in the year 315).

The calendar of the Church of Greece (new style) commemorates him on 13 September, among the martyrs Aristides, Gordian, Zoticus, Elias, Cronides, Leontius, Lucian, Macrobius, Valerian, Seleucus and Serapion.
