Saint Benjamin was a deacon in Persia during the early 5th century, a time when Christians faced severe persecution under the rule of King Yazdegerd I and later his son, King Vahram V. Known for his steadfast faith, Benjamin was initially imprisoned for a year due to his Christian activities. After his release, secured by an ambassador of the Eastern Roman Emperor, he was warned not to preach about Christianity. However, Benjamin continued his work, leading to his rearrest. He was then subjected to cruel tortures, including having reeds thrust between his nails, before being impaled to death around 424 AD. His martyrdom is celebrated for his unwavering commitment to evangelizing and spreading the Christian faith despite the risk to his life. | Saint Benjamin was a deacon in Persia during the early 5th century, a time when Christians faced severe persecution under the rule of King Yazdegerd I and later his son, King Vahram V.
