*Saint Urpasianos belonged to the class of senators, and lived at the beginning of the 4th century.
~Ourpasianus throws the chlamyda,
It disgraces an ungodly kingdom.~
When Diocletian unleashed his edict once morest the Christians, he first invited the senators and declared that if any of them were Christians, he would forgive them if they declared it immediately and renounced Christ.
Urpasianus listened to the king’s declaration, and at the end, instead of another answer, he himself removed the insignia of his office and delivered them to him. Diocletian got angry and ordered to torture him.
At first they flogged him with the sinews of an ox, and half dead they threw him into prison. Then various senatorial friends of his tried to persuade him to sacrifice to the idols and keep his office. However, Urpasianos remained faithful to his decision.
Then his death was decided. So they opened his sides with iron instruments, and followingwards put lighted lamps on his wounds. Both the burns and the smoke brought regarding his martyrdom.
