Holy Martyr Zosimus     7/2/2013

Zosimus was a Roman soldier during the reign of Emperor Trajan. He courageously confessed his faith in Christ the Lord for which he endured cruel tortures. In the midst of his tortures, he heard a voice from heaven saying: "Be brave Zosimus and sign yourself with the cross, I am with you!" Angels of God appeared to him in prison. After many tortures, Zosimus was beheaded in the year 116 A.D.
