Andrew of Lampsacus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Peter, Andrew, Paul, and Denise
Saints Peter, Andrew, Paul, and Denise (Dionisia, Dionysia) are venerated as martyrs by the Orthodox〔 ''(Οἱ Ἅγιοι Πέτρος, Διονύσιος, Ἀνδρέας, Παῦλος, Χριστίνα, Ἡράκλειος, Παυλίνος καὶ Βενέδιμος οἱ Μάρτυρες ).'' 18 Μαΐου. ΜΕΓΑΣ ΣΥΝΑΞΑΡΙΣΤΗΣ.〕 and Catholic Churches. They were killed in the 3rd century at Lampsacus, Mysia (in present-day Turkey) in the Hellespont. ==Martyrdom== According to tradition, Denise was martyred during the persecution of Christians by the Emperor Decius, along with three men named Andrew, Paul, and Nichomachus.〔Félix Amat, ''Tratado de la Iglesia de Jesucristo'' (Madrid: S.N., 1806), Lib. IV, Cap. II.〕 Nichomachus, “presumptuous and over-confident”,〔(Campbell, Thomas. "St. Andrew." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 1. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1907. 5 Apr. 2013 )〕 denied that he was a Christian after he was tortured and was asked to perform a sacrifice to the Roman gods. However, as he was about to perform this task, he suffered a convulsion and fell dead.〔 Andrew and Paul refused to apostatize and were tortured on the rack and then imprisoned.〔 Denise was a sixteen-year-old〔Some sources say 29-year-old (see below)〕 Christian girl who vocalized her unhappiness regarding Nichomachus’ apostasy.〔 She was brought before the proconsul Optimus, and refused to abjure her faith. Optimus condemned her to be raped by several soldiers; however, according to tradition, she was “subjected to the approaches of three libertines, but was protected by an angel.”〔 Paul and Andrew were finally led to their execution, and were stoned to death in the local arena.〔 Denise managed to escape from prison and locate the bodies of the two men. She publicly expressed her desire to share their martyrdom, was carried away by force, and was promptly ordered to be beheaded by Optimus.〔
