Holy Martyr Timothy of Palestine. Wooden orthodox icon.

Icon of the Holy Martyr Timothy of Palestine

The Holy Martyr Timothy, along with the martyrs Agapius and Thecla, suffered for Christ in the year 304. Saint Timothy was born in Gaza, Caesarea of Palestine. He studied the Holy Scriptures and, gifted with eloquence, became a teacher of the Christian faith. During the persecutions under Emperors Diocletian (284–305) and Maximian (284–305), he was brought before the governor Urban. Fearlessly declaring himself a Christian, he boldly preached about the love of our Lord Jesus Christ and His coming into the world for the salvation of mankind. After enduring severe tortures, the saint remained steadfast in his faith, and he was condemned to be burned alive.

In the same city and year, the martyrs Agapius and Thecla also gave their lives for Christ, being thrown to wild beasts and thus receiving heavenly crowns.

Through their holy prayers, may the Lord grant us strength and faithfulness!
