Feast day: 5 October

Italian original Cite

THRASEA, Saint, Martyr. - Bishop of Eumenia
in Phrygia, who lived in the second half of the 2nd century.

The Syriac Breviary and the Hieronymian Martyrology
commemorate him on 27 Oct. together with Polycarp and Gaius; the
Roman Martyrology, on the other hand, which drew its information
from that of Ado, commemorates him only on 5 Oct. His
tomb was at Smyrna, where he perhaps suffered martyrdom in the
time of Marcus Aurelius or of Commodus. The writer Apollonius, in a work against the Montanists, asserted that he had
perished in his own times, and the bishop Polycrates of Ephesus, in the
letter sent to Pope Victor for the paschal controversy,
declared that T. had followed the Quartodeciman custom.
