Details
Saint Astius (died 117 AD) is a 2nd century Christian martyr venerated by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. He was the bishop of Dyrrhachium in what is now Albania. According to legend, he was arrested by Agricolaus, the Roman governor of Dyrrachium, and was tortured to death around 98 AD for refusing to worship the god Dionysius. He was crucified during the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Trajan. A group of other saints, Peregrinus, Gennanus, Lucian, Pompeius, Hesychius, Papius, and Saturninus, were killed because they sympathized with Astius. His feast day is July 7.
