Calendar for November 23 The Holy Apostles Olympos, Erastus, Rodion and Others with Them
All of the Seventy. Rodion, Sosipater and Tertius are also celebrated on other dates. Saint Rodion was the bishop of Neopatr. The Jews beat him with rods, stones in the mouth, and stabbed him with knives. Saint Sosipater was the bishop of Iconium, and he died in Corfu. Both were relatives of the Apostle Paul and he mentions them in his epistles. Saint Tertius was the bishop of Iconium and died a martyr. Saint Olympos, like Saint Rodion, was a follower of the Apostle Peter. Both were beheaded on the same day that the Apostle Peter was crucified upside down. Erastus was first the steward of the church in Jerusalem, and then the bishop of Paneada in Palestine. Quartius was the bishop of Beirut. He brought many to the faith of Christ, but he also suffered much.
Holy Martyr Orestes. Saint Non, Bishop of Heliopolis.
