The saint behind the name
Onesimos
February 15, Apostle, Ονήσιμος
St. Onesimos the Apostle was the slave of Philemon of Colossae who fled from his master and, by God's providence, came to St. Paul in his imprisonment. There he was converted, and Paul sent him back with the Epistle to Philemon, asking that he be received no longer as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ.
