Saint Antipas of Pergamum, a 1st-century Christian bishop, is celebrated as an early martyr named in the Book of Revelation (2:13) as “my faithful witness” in Pergamum, “where Satan dwells.” Tradition holds he was a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist, appointed bishop of Pergamum—a city steeped in Roman idolatry, with its altar to Zeus and emperor worship. Around 92 AD, under Emperor Domitian’s persecution, Antipas was seized for refusing to sacrifice to pagan gods. Condemned to death, he was roasted alive in a hollow bronze bull, praying until his end, a gruesome fate that cemented his sanctity in Christian memory. | Saint Antipas of Pergamum, a 1st-century Christian bishop, is celebrated as an early martyr named in the Book of Revelation (2:13) as “my faithful witness” in Pergamum, “where Satan dwells.” Tradition holds he was a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist, appointed bishop of Pergamum—a city steeped in Roman idolatry, with its altar to Zeus and emperor worship.
