Calendar for May 11 - Saint Apostles Jason and Sosipatre
They belonged to the Seventy Apostles. Apostle Paul calls them his relatives (Rom. 16, 21). Jason was from Tarsus and Sosipater from Achaia. Apostle Paul made them bishops. Preaching the Gospel, they reached Corfu, where they built a church. The king of this island threw them into a dungeon where they converted 7 robbers to the faith of Christ, whom the king killed in hot pitch. Seeing how her father tortures the apostles, the virgin Kerkyra declares herself a Christian. Her father imprisoned her and set fire to the dungeon, but she remained alive. Seeing this, many were baptized. They killed her with arrows. The emperor, chasing the Christians, drowned in the sea, and the new emperor, Sebastian, accepted the faith of Christ. Jason and Sospipatr ended their lives peacefully in Corfu, in old age.
Holy Martyrs Maximus, Dada and Quintilian. Holy Martyr Tybalus.
