He spent the remainder of his life evangelising Ireland with extraordinary success, baptising thousands, ordaining priests and bishops and establishing monasteries that made Ireland a centre of Christian civilisation and learning for centuries.

Born in Jerusalem with the pagan name Neanias to a pagan father and a secretly Christian mother, he was a young Roman officer sent to Palestine to persecute Christians. On his journey a divine vision appeared to him, similar to the vision of the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus, and he was converted to Christianity, taking the name Procopius. He refused to carry out the persecution of Christians and publicly declared his faith before the governor of Caesarea. He endured prolonged and terrible tortures with extraordinary patience and courage, working miracles during his suffering that converted many of his tormentors and bystanders, before being beheaded around 303 AD. His mother and twelve noblewomen who were converted by witnessing his martyrdom were also put to death. He is particularly venerated in Palestine and throughout the Orthodox world. His feast day is celebrated in July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\" (Matthew 5:10)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO holy great martyr Procopius, who wast transformed from a persecutor of Christians into a glorious martyr for Christ, intercede before the Lord for all who suffer persecution for their faith and for all who are called from darkness to the marvellous light of the Orthodox faith.

Born in Thessaloniki in Macedonia around 270 AD to a Christian family of senatorial rank, he was appointed by the Emperor Maximian as governor of Thessaly and proconsul charged with the extermination of Christianity in the region. Instead he openly declared his own Christian faith and began teaching and preaching, greatly increasing the number of Christians in Thessaloniki. He was arrested and imprisoned in the baths of the city. During his imprisonment a young Christian athlete named Nestor sought his blessing before entering combat against the pagan champion Lyaeus, and through Demetrios's prayer Nestor triumphed and killed the champion. Demetrios was then put to death by being stabbed with spears around 306 AD. From his relics a miraculous myrrh has flowed without ceasing, giving him the title Myrrh-streaming.
