Shop St. Apollonius
Martyr of Egypt with Philemon. He was a deacon in Antinopolis Faiyoum, and he converted Philemon, who was a musician. Arrested in the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian, the two were taken to Alexandria, where they were drowned. Tradition states that Philemon was hired to represent Apollonius at a pagan sacrifice demanded of citizens. Philemon announced he was a Christian. When no one listened to his claims, he persisted and was baptized miraculously. Apollonius declared the faith when arrested, and he and Philemon were sewn into sacks and thrown into the sea. .
