Cappadocia among the classical regions of Anatolia (Asia Minor)
Saint Serge
Martyr à Césarée de Cappadoce (✝ 304)
Il voulait vivre en paix avec Dieu et pour cela
s'était fait moine et solitaire non loin de la ville. Ce qui ne l'empêcha pas
d'être arrêté pour sa foi, torturé et décapité. Ses reliques se trouveraient
désormais en Andalousie.

Profile
Monk in Caesarea, Cappadocia. May have been a priest; records are unclear. He was one of a group
of Christians assembled and ordered to make
a sacrifice to idols during the persecutions of Diocletian; when the sacrificial fire went
out, Sergius immediately claimed it was the work of the true God. He was immediately “tried” and executed by order of the local governor. Martyr.

St Sergius
Very little is known of this Sergius, who should not
be confused with his contemporary the companion of St Bacchus, commemorated in
East and West alike on 7 October. Unlike these men, who were prominent soldiers
murdered after attempting to keep their faith incognito, this saint seems to
have been a pious and obscure hermit in Cappadocia killed because he went out
of his way to insult paganism. Hearing that vicious persecutions were being
carried out by the governor of Caesarea under the authority of Maximian and
Diocletian, Sergius marched to the city and, in the presence of the governor
himself, one Sapcricius, said what must have been very rude things about the
heathen deities. He was almost immediately executed.
