The saint behind the name
Agapios
March 15, Martyr, Αγάπιος
St. Agapios was a martyr who suffered at Caesarea in Palestine during the great persecutions at the beginning of the fourth century. Together with several companions, he confessed Christ before the governor and refused every inducement to sacrifice to the idols, and so was put to death for the faith.
