The saint behind the name
Patrick, Bishop of Prusa
May 19, Hierarch, Πατρίκιος
The Holy Hieromartyr Patrick was Bishop of Prusa in Bithynia in the early centuries of the Church. Brought before the pagan governor with priests of his church, he confessed Christ as the Creator of all, refusing to ascribe the works of God to the idols, and for his boldness he was put to death by the sword together with his companions.
