St. POLYCARP
Christian Saint
Also known as Polýkarpos
Bishop of Smyrna and Martyr
The Apostles were now all gone and no one knew exactly when Easter should be. Then there was a proliferation of plagues and this poor old Bishop was asked to change his mind about things.
“What — from better to worse? It can’t be done.” So it was decided to do away with him.
He wouldn’t burn either, so they had to behead him.
