Holy Martyr Urpasianus was a dignitary of Roman Emperor Galerius in the early 4th century. During the Christian persecutions perpetrated under Galerius martyr Urpasianus renounced his position as a servant of the emperor stating, "Henceforth I am a warrior of the Heavenly King, the Lord Jesus Christ. Take back the insignia that was given to me."() Consequently Urpasianus was tortured and executed by flame. Holy Martyr Urpasianus is commemorated 9 March in the Eastern Orthodox Church. ==See also== *Forty Martyrs of Sebaste also commemorated 9 March *Martyrs of China, martyred by the state in 19-20th century *Bartolome Blanco Marquez, martyred under similar circumstances in 20th century Spain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Urpasianus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
