Story

Saints Arsenius and Philemon, and the virgin Lykia, believed in the Lord Christ at the hands of the Apostle Paul when he was in Phrygia.

On the feast of Atamius, these entered the pagan temple, looking with bitterness upon the souls that worshipped idols. The governor summoned them, and Arsenius was stoned, while Philemon was tortured, until they gave up their spirits.

The Church commemorates them on the 25th of Amshir
