Life
Holy Apostle Zenas, one of the Seventy, is mentioned by the holy Apostle Paul in the Epistle to Titus (3:13) as learned in the Law, whom Titus is asked to help on his way. The Synaxarion says that he was made bishop of Diospolis by the Apostle Peter.
After many sufferings endured from unbelievers for the rebuilding of the churches and the overthrow of the idols, himself becoming a worker of miracles and healings, he departed to the Lord. He is commemorated on 27 April and, together with the other Apostles of the Seventy, on 4 January.
