The saint behind the name
Kallistratos
September 27, Martyr, Καλλίστρατος
St. Kallistratos was a Christian soldier who suffered during the persecutions at the turn of the fourth century. Discovered at prayer, he confessed Christ before his commander and was cast into the sea sewn in a sack; delivered unharmed, his courage and deliverance brought forty-nine of his fellow soldiers to believe, and together they received the crown of martyrdom by the sword.
