- Holy Martyrs Proclus and Hilarius (2nd c.)
- Proclus was the uncle of Hilarius; both were from Kallippi in Asia
during the reign of Trajan. When Proclus was brought to be tried as
Christians, the judge asked him 'Of what race are you?' Proclus
answered 'I am of the race of Christ, and my hope is in my God.' When
the judge threatened to torture him, he said 'When you are afraid to
transgress the Emperor's commands and risk falling into temporal
punishment, how much more do we Christians fear to transgress against
God's commands and fall into eternal torment!' When Proclus was given
over to torture, his nephew Hilarius came forward and proclaimed 'I too
am a Christian.' After torture, both were condemned to death; Proclus
was crucified and Hilarius beheaded.
