Polycarp of Alexandria

Martyr

Saint martyr Polycarp suffered for boldly denouncing the emperor Maximian in the shedding of innocent Christian blood in the city of Alexandria. He openly confessed himself to be a Christian and willingly went to sufferings. After severe torments, the martyr was beheaded.
