Saints Peter and Paul, Bishops of Nicaea

Holy Hierarch
Bishop

Saints Peter and Paul were bishops in Nicaea. Saint Peter defended the Orthodox faith against the iconoclasts during the reign of Emperor Leo the Isaurian (813–820) and suffered for this. He passed away no earlier than 823. Four letters of Saint Theodore the Studite to Saint Peter are known, written between 816 and 823.
