Saints Hypatius and Andrew

August 29

Martyrs of Constantinople, Hypatius was a bishop and Andrew a priest. They were natives of Lydia. They died defending sacred images from Emperor Leo III the Isaurian. Their beards were covered in pitch and then set aflame, the skin of their scalps was torn off, and then they were beheaded. Their feast is kept on August 29.
