Today the Holy Apostles Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon and Parmen are celebrated

The holy apostles Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon and Parmen

The four were from the Seven Deacons and the Seventy Apostles. The other three deacons were: Stephen, Philip and Nicholas. The first martyr Stefan is celebrated separately on December 27, and Filip on October 11. Nicholas did not enter among the saints because of heresy. And the first four do not have a special day to celebrate, but all are mentioned on this day. Prohor was ordained by the Holy Apostle Peter as Bishop of Nicomedia. For some time he was at the service of St. John the Theologian, and on the island of Patmos he noticed the revelations he had heard from the mouth of St. John. Then he returned to Nicomedia, where he made great efforts to convert the people to the faith. He was martyred in Antioch, where he was killed by unbelievers. Saint Nicanor suffered in Jerusalem on the same day as the holy archdeacon Stephen, and soon after him suffered two thousand other Christians who had been killed by evil Jews. Timon was a bishop in Arabia and suffered for Christ on the cross. Parmen died before the eyes of the apostles, and they mourned and buried him.
