July 29, Martyr, Καλλίνικος
St. Kallinikos was a Christian of Asia Minor who traveled from place to place preaching Christ and turning many from the worship of idols. Seized during the persecutions, he was brought to Gangra in Paphlagonia, where after cruel torments he was condemned to death by fire, and gave up his soul to God with thanksgiving.
