Details
Saint Thyrsus /ˈθɜːrsəs/ or Thyrse /ˈθɜːrs/ (Ancient Greek: Θύρσος, romanized: Thúrsos, literally "thyrsus"; Spanish and Portuguese: Tirso; French: Thyrse; died 251) is venerated as a Christian martyr. He was killed for his faith in Apollonia, Phrygia, during the persecution of Decius, along with Leucius /ˈl(j)uːʃəs/ (Λεύκιος Leúkios) and Callinicus /ˌkælɪˈnaɪkəs/ (Καλλίνικος Kallínīkos). Tradition states that Thyrsus endured many tortures and was sentenced to be sawn in half. However, the saw did not penetrate as it became so heavy that the executioners could not use it. Saint Leucius, after reproaching the governor, Cumbricius, was hanged, harrowed on his sides, and then beheaded. Callinicus, a pagan priest, was converted after seeing the martyrdom of Thyrsus and was also beheaded.
