Saint martyr Tryphon was born in Phrygia, in the village of Campsada, near the city of Apamea. From a young age, he was graced by God and was endowed with the gift of wonderworking. In the year 238, during the reign of Emperor Gordian, he healed the royal daughter Gordiana, curing her of demonic possession. After this, the saint returned to his activities, continuing to heal people and preach Christ.
Later, during the persecutions of Christians under Emperor Decius, the saint was captured by the prefect Aquilinus for confessing his faith. He boldly stood before the court, refusing to worship the pagan gods. The saint endured severe tortures, including beatings and torment, but remained steadfast in his faith.
Despite the threats, he continued to confess Christ, asserting that only those who believe in Him can inherit eternal life. Ultimately, after many tortures, the saint was sentenced to be beheaded. Before his death, he offered a prayer, asking God for protection and that his soul be received into the Kingdom of Heaven.
After his martyr's death, the Christians of Nicaea wished to bury him, but the saint appeared to them in a vision and instructed them to transfer his relics to his native village of Campsada. Saint Tryphon, glorified for his miracles and courage, was crowned with an incorruptible crown from God.
