The Hieromartyr Mocius.
Commemorated May 11 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion
From the Prologue
A Roman by birth, and a priest in Amphipolis in Macedonia, he suffered in the time of Diocletian. He destroyed a statue of the god Dionysius by his prayers, which roused some of the pagans to fury against him but brought others to the Faith. He was beheaded for Christ in 295.
