Saint Artemius was a distinguished statesman in Byzantium and a pious Christian. Constantine the Great, seeing his upright ethical character and political acumen, appointed him Duke and Prefect of Alexandria. In 357 AD, he went to Patra at the behest of the Emperor Constantius, the son of Constantine the Great, in order to receive the venerable relics of Saint Andrew. He set up camp near the Monastery of Gerokomeiou, gave alms and comfort to many who were suffering misfortune and old age. Afterwards, with the strength given to him by God, Artemius went to Antioch and with boldness rebuked Julian for his transgressions against the Christians. Julian, who did not expect such an attitude from a state official, had him arrested and beheaded. The holy relics of Artemius were taken by the deaconess Ariste, who brought them to Constantinople, to the Church of the Holy Forerunner. His memory is honoured on the 20th of October.
