Saints Philadelphos and Polykarpos


Verses

Philadelphos and Polykarpos,
Were friends till the end of their lives.

Saints Philadelphos and Polykarpos are commemorated together on both October 25th and February 8th with the same iambic verses. However, on October 25th the Synaxarion of Constantinople says they reposed in peace, while on February 8th it says they died as martyrs. The Menologion of Basil II for February 8th confirms that Saint Philadelphos was a martyr, though it says nothing of Saint Polykarpos.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
