Holy Martyrs
Tasius
Martyr of Dobruja who suffered in the fourth century.
Life
Holy Martyr Tasius suffered for Christ at Axiopolis, today Cernavodă, in Dobruja, in the fourth century, in the time of the persecution, together with Saints Cyril and Chindeus. The calendar of the Romanian Orthodox Church commemorates him on 26 April, in the company of the Holy Martyrs of Axiopolis.
Axiopolis was a city of Scythia Minor, a province where many martyrs of the early centuries were found. The surviving historical sources give no details of the passion of Tasius, who is sometimes written Dasius, nor of his companions. Their veneration is one of the signs of the antiquity of Christianity in Dobruja.
