Product Description

SAINT TRYPHON, MARTYR, FULL BODY 9009 St. Tryphon is one of the Holy Unmercenary Healers, and is called upon for help against infestations of rodents and locusts. He is one of the patrons of Moscow. His name is from the Greek “tryphe,” which means “softness or delicacy,” and his heart was truly such by his great Christian love. During the time of the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Decius (from a.d. 249 to 251), St. Tryphon was tortured, but to the amazement of all remained unharmed by such cruelty. But he finally was beheaded in 250 AD.

Feast Day: 1st February
