- Martyr Isidore of Chios (251)
- A devout Christian from his early youth, he was kidnapped from his
native Chios and impressed into the army. When he openly confessed
himself a Christian, his commander ordered him to make sacrifice to the
gods. When he resolutely refused, the commander ordered him to be beaten
with iron flails, then had his tongue cut out. But even without a
tongue, Isidore was miraculously enabled to speak, and clearly
proclaimed the name of Christ. At the same moment, the commander was
struck mute. The commander then ordered by signs that Isidore be
beheaded. Isidore went to his death rejoicing and praising God. This
occurred during the persecutions of the Emperor Decius.
