St. Ignatius of Antioch (died c. 110, Rome; Western feast day October 17; Eastern feast day December 20) was the bishop of Antioch, Syria (now in Turkey), known mainly from seven highly regarded letters that he wrote during a trip to Rome, as a prisoner condemned to be executed for his beliefs.

Jan 4, 2022 · Ignatius was the bishop of the church in Antioch, Syria, and was martyred under Emperor Trajan around AD 110. He was apparently a disciple of John, the beloved apostle, along with Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna.
Around 107, Trajan came upon Bishop Ignatius while traveling through Antioch. He questioned Ignatius about his faith and ordered him to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods. When Ignatius refused and confidently professed his faith, the emperor condemned him to be devoured by wild beasts.
