Martyr
Trophimus of Lycia
Christian of Lycia, martyred for the faith of Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Trophimus of Lycia is remembered together with Theophilus and thirteen other holy martyrs. All suffered in the persecution of the emperor Diocletian (284-305). Brought to trial, they boldly confessed themselves Christians and refused to sacrifice to the idols.
After harsh tortures, with their shins broken, they were thrown into the fire. Strengthened by the Lord, they came out of the flames completely unharmed and glorified Christ all the more. Then their tormentors, despairing of breaking their will, beheaded them. Saint Trophimus is commemorated on 5 August, in the new style.
Commemorated the same day July 23
