Saint Agathangelus of Rome

A life of faith

Agathangelus was a Roman who received baptism from Clement of Ancyra during the bishop’s imprisonment. When Clement was transported to Nicomedia, Agathangelus accompanied him. The account remembers their shared Christian confession through repeated imprisonment and suffering. Agathangelus was eventually executed at Ancyra and is commemorated with Clement.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.

A reflection

Agathangelus invites reflection on faithful companionship expressed through continued presence in difficult circumstances.
