Sts. Timothy (d. 311 A.D.) and Symphorianus (d. ca. 180) were martyrs during the era of Christian persecutions. Timothy was a priest from Antioch, Syria. When he refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, he was imprisoned, tortured, and then beheaded. Symphorianus, or Symphorian, was a Christian of noble birth in Autun, Gaul. Because he denounced the pagan goddess Cybele, he was beaten and imprisoned. When he persisted in his refusal to accept pagan gods, he was beheaded.
