Life
The son of the senator Dionysius. He was fiercely tortured for Christ, beaten and scraped, then thrown half-dead into prison. An angel of God appeared to him and healed him. Released from prison, he distributed all his possessions, giving some to the poor and some to his slanderers. He was seized again and scraped until he gave up his soul to God. From his wounds flowed milk and water instead of blood. He suffered in the time of Emperor Hadrian.
From the Prologue from Ochrid by St. Nikolai Velimirovich, September 7. Translated by Marcian Sakarya, CC BY-SA 4.0.
