Apostle Parmenas
Apostle
Commemorated January 4 · July 28
The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Parmenas was one of the original seven deacons chosen by the Twelve Apostles to minister to the Church of Jerusalem , according to the Acts of the Apostles . He was also one of the Seventy Apostles sent out by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke , chapter 10. After preaching for many years in Asia Minor, he settled down in Macedonia. Hippolytus says that Parmenas was the Bishop of Soli. He is thought to have died a martyr in Philippi, Macedonia, in the year 98 AD, during the persecution of the Christians under the Roman Emperor Trajan. The Church commemorates Apostle Parmenas on January 4 with the Seventy, and on July 28 with the seven deacons.
