Commemorated on April 2
The Holy Martyr Polycarp suffered for his bold denunciation of the emperor Maxmian (305-313) for spilling innocent Christian blood in the city of Alexandria.
He openly confessed himself a Christian and went to voluntary torture. After cruel sufferings, the martyr was beheaded.
