Ischirione of Alexandria

Saint Ischirione of Alexandria

Also known as
Ischyrion

memorial
22 December

Profile

Our Saint for today was an early Church Martyr during the reign of Emperor Decius and his widespread persecution. Ischirione refused to sacrifice to idols so they Impaled him on a sharp Pole. If they had tried to do the same with a dull German maybe he would have fared better. You bet your dupa; Poles are pretty tough.

Died
c.250 in Alexandria, Egypt
