Nicephorus of Antioch

Nicephorus was born at Antioch. He and another priest called Sapricius had a quarrel over something. On occasions Nicephorus attempted to make peace and reconciliation with Sapricius, but each time Sapricius refused him. Later, Sapricius was sentenced to death because of his faith. On the way to execution place, the last attempt by Nicephorus was also turned. But, right before his execution, Sparicius offered to sacrifice to Pagan gods to save himself. This time Nicephorus said that he was also a Christian and ready to die. He was momentously beheaded right there. The Historians place this event in the Persecutions of the emperor Valerian.
