- Holy Apostles of the Seventy Olympas, Rodion, Erastus, Sosipater and Quartus
- All of these Apostles were among the Seventy, and all are mentioned
by St Paul in Romans 16. Saints Olympas and Rodion followed St Peter to
Rome and were beheaded under Nero around the year 54. The other three
reposed in peace after serving the Church as bishops: St Sosipater as
Bishop of Iconium; St Erastus (described by St Paul as city treasurer of
Corinth) as Bishop of Paneas (Caesarea Philippi); St Quartus as Bishop
of Beirut. Quartus is said to have converted most of the citizens of
Beirut to faith in Christ before his repose.
