Martyr. He was supposedly put to death during the persecutions under Emperor Valenan, although there is serious question about his historical existence. Tradition states that Nicephorus� martyrdom involved a priest named Sapricius, who apostatized, which brought about Nicephorus� death.

Nicephorus Zk.

Bound with chains of love, O Nicephorus, you demolished the malice of hatred and when beheaded you became a martyr for the Incarnate Saviour. Pray to him for us who ask your help with confidence. Amen

Nicephorus of Antioch is one of my favourite saints. He is very helpful. There hasn't been a time when he didnt help me. I would recommend him to any Catholic, eventhough he is rather obscure. Orthodox christians pray to him also and you can see icons of him on some sites.
