What kind of church holiday is today?
April 13 in the church calendar – the day of memory of the hieromartyr Artemon. Artemon lived in the 3rd century and became one of those who fell victim to the persecution of Christians during the Roman Empire. During the empire of Diocletian (284-305), Christianity was subjected to severe persecution. Artemon was one of the many clergy who refused the ban on performing Christian rituals and renounced their faith in Christ. He preferred loyalty to his convictions over the will of power. As a result, Diocletian’s loyal subjects arrested Artemon and subjected him to severe torture. He refused to renounce his faith and died a martyr’s death.
