Saint Irenaeus

Memorial
26 March
Profile
Deacon at Pentapolis, Lybia. Tortured with Saint Theodore, Saint Serapion and Saint Ammonius; the group had their tongues cut out and were left for dead, but they all survived and died years later of natural causes. However, because they were willing to die, and because there were attempts to kill them, they are considered martyrs.
