St Paul the Confessor the Bishop of Plusias in Bithynia
Saint Paul the Confessor was bishop of the city of Prusa (in
the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor) at a time when the iconoclasts
raged against the Church of Christ. His zealous defense of the holy
icons was based on Holy Scripture. St Paul was subjected to harassment
and persecution together with St Theophylactus (March 8). The holy
confessor was sent into exile and reposed around the year 850.
