Saint tryphon

He was born in Lampsacus in Phrygia and lived in the years of the Gordian kings (238-244) Philip and Decius. Desperate in his childhood, he was forced to herd geese for a while to make ends meet. While practicing his humble work, he also studied the Holy Bible and performed his religious duties with great zeal. The humble Tryphon with his pious erudition gradually became capable not only of knowing much himself, but also of teaching it. He was so favored by divine grace that he miraculously healed diseases.In fact, King Gordianus, when he learned about Tryphon, asked him to heal his sick daughter. Indeed, he cured her by refusing the honors and offices offered to him by Gordianus. But in the time of Decius (249-251), Tryphon is arrested. He bravely confessed his faith and was subjected to horrible torture.

Then they locked him in the prison with the intention of giving him a term, to get rid of his "dementia" and to deny his faith in Christ. But again he confessed the name of God with spiritual courage. They then dragged him naked on iron nails, then whipped him and then burned his ribs with torches. In the end, as soon as the Martyr surrendered his soul to God saying "Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit", they cut off his honest head.The Christians received his honest relic and after anointing it with precious myrrh and wrapping it in a shroud, deposited it in an altar and sent it to the city of Lampsak according to his wish.
