September 12, Hierarch, Αυτόνομος
St. Autonomos was a bishop from Italy who, during the persecution under Diocletian, came to Bithynia in Asia Minor, where he preached the Gospel and brought many pagans to faith in Christ. He was slain by a pagan mob while serving the Divine Liturgy, offering his own life together with the bloodless sacrifice.
