Saint Acacius

Saint Acacius was a 4th century priest who lived in Sebaste, Armenia, during Diocletian's persecution. He was arrested and executed under the governor Maximus with seven women and one Hirenarchus, who was so impressed with the devotion to their faith he became a Christian and suffered the same fate.  This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Herbermann, Charles, ed (1913).
