  February 10, Martyr, Χαράλαμπος

  St. Charalambos was a priest of Magnesia in Asia Minor who suffered martyrdom in extreme old age, according to tradition at the age of 113, during the persecutions of the early third century. Refusing to sacrifice to idols, he endured torture with such serenity that many who witnessed his suffering came to believe in Christ.
