Saint Probus the Martyr

A life of faith

Probus is remembered with the martyrs Tarachus and Andronicus. The source identifies him as from Pamphylia. The three were arrested at Pompeiopolis in Cilicia and taken through several cities during their imprisonment. The calendar places their martyrdom during the persecution under Diocletian and Maximian.

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

A reflection

The companions’ shared remembrance invites prayer for people moved far from home through imprisonment.
