| St. Apollonios of Rome (Feast Day - July 23) |
Verses
Apollonios wrestled with a double hardship,
Exerting himself towards the fire and the bow and arrow.
Exerting himself towards the fire and the bow and arrow.
The Holy Hieromartyr Apollonios, Bishop of Rome, met his end by the bow and arrow and by fire.
It should be noted, that we do not have a record of a Bishop of Rome that went by the name of Apollonios. It is possible this could be an unknown Martyr of the Early Church, or even someone like Saint Apollonios the Apologist or Apollonios the Bishop of Ephesus.
