Martyr Sarbelus of Edessa
The Holy Martyr Sarbelus was a pagan priest who lived during
the reign of the emperor Trajan (98-117) He and his sister Bebaia were
converted by St Barsimaius, the Bishop of Edessa (January 29). They both
received the crown of martyrdom.
This St Sarbelus appears to be the same one who is commemorated on January 29 and October 15.
