Story
Ardalio was martyred around the year 300 A.D. He was an actor whom the governor would employ to mimic the Christians by way of mockery, a practice that was common at the time.
While he was playing the part of a martyr, and the spectators were applauding his skillful enactment of a Christian standing before the judge, he cried out with a loud voice: "Let all of you know that I am not speaking in jest!"

He was led away to the judge, who ordered him to be burned, on the 14th of April
