Sapor of Bet-Nicator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sapor of Bet-Nicator (also known as Shapur of Bet-Nicator) was the Christian bishop of Bet-Nicator.
He was reported with 4 companions to King Shapur II, on the basis of their having preached against the adoration of the sun. After being subjected to prolonged torture, Sapor died in prison on November 20, 339.
His companions in martyrdom included Abraham.
There is no record of a feast day for these individuals.
