Saint Andrew Stratelates : ウィキペディア英語版 | Saint Andrew Stratelates :''For the saint and military commander in the city of Heraclea Pontica see'': Theodore Stratelates Saint Andrew Stratelates, also known as Andrew the Tribune (Greek: Ἀνδρέας ὁ Στρατηλάτης, tr. Andréas o Stratelátes) or Saint Andrew the Commander 〔(The Passion of Saint Andrew the Commander )〕 is a 3rd-century Roman soldier who is commemorated with his 2,593 soldiers as martyrs by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church on 19 August. ==Life== Little is known about his early life except that he was a Syrian by birth and a military commander in the Roman army during the reign of emperor Maximian (284-305). When a large Persian army invaded the Syrian territories, the governor Antiochus entrusted St. Andrew with the command of the Roman army, giving him the title of "Stratelates" ("Commander"). Invoking Christ to aid him and a small detachment of pagan soldiers in battle, St Andrew proceeded against the adversary and routed the numerous host of Persians. Although he gloriously returned to Antioch, having gained a total victory, certain men denounced him to the governor Antiochus, saying that he was a Christian who had converted the soldiers under his command to his faith.〔Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich, "The Prologue of Ohrid", (New 2nd Edition 2008).
