One of the Seventy, a disciple of the great apostles. He was bishop first in Athens, after Saint Publius, and then in Magnesia. He was very learned. Like a light, he shone among the Greeks, dispelling their idolatrous darkness, and with prayer he destroyed demonic temples. But the pagans hated the holy man. First they stoned him, and then they threw him into prison. They did not give him food and thus they starved him. Saint Quadratus wrote a defense of Christians and presented it to Emperor Hadrian. This defense had such an impact on the pagan emperor that he ordered the persecution of Christians without any particular guilt to cease. Saint Quadratus gave up his soul to the Lord around the year 130. He suffered in Magnesia, where he was buried.
