He converted many Greeks to the faith of Christ, for which he was cruelly tortured by the pagans with hunger, imprisonment, and beatings. They laid him naked on the ground and tied him to four dry stakes, and mercilessly beat him until his flesh was torn from his bones. But the martyr remained alive, and those four dry stakes grew green and grew into tall trees, from which many sick people received healing. Finally, Saint Therapont was slaughtered like a lamb, in the time of Valerian, and his soul passed into the Kingdom, to behold the glory of God in eternity. He suffered nobly in the year 259.
