Image of St. Polychronius

Martyred bishop of Babylon. He was traditionally thought to have been put to death at Babylon at the order of Emperor Trajanus Decius. This poses certain historical problems as Decius never fought in the East, being other wise occupied with the Goths on the Danube. There is a possibility that he may be the same person as Polychronius the feast for this Polychronius is the result of the translation of the saint's relics.
