In the name of the Most Holy and Life-giving Trinity, he was baptized by Archangel Michael himself, who invisibly followed him until the end of his earthly life. From a young age, he yearned for a spiritual life. His parents forced him to marry, but he brought his wife, and then his parents, to the faith of Christ, telling her about the spiritual life as better and more beautiful than the physical one. He lived with his wife like a shepherd. Soon, both his parents and his wife died, and he withdrew from worldly life and completely devoted himself to fasting, prayer and contemplation of God. He performed great miracles, he forced evil spirits to serve him. During one persecution of Christians, they stabbed him all with knives. The sick were anointed with his blood and healed. After two years, he presented himself to the Lord. He lived in the 2nd century.
