Память святого мученика Папы

The Holy Pope was from the Lycaonian city of Laranda and lived during the reign of Emperor Maximian. For confessing the faith of Christ, he was given over to suffer in his native city, then in Diocaesarea and, finally, in Seleucia of Isauria. He was beaten with rods, tormented with iron claws, walked a long way in boots with iron nails and ended his life tied to a tree. You might be interested in:
