The Holy Martyr Tryphon was born in Phrygia, near the city of Apamea. From a young age he was gifted with the gift of expelling evil spirits and healing people from various diseases. Once he managed to save the inhabitants of his village from hunger: by the power of his prayer he managed to ensure that harmful insects, eating wheat and devastating fields, left the village.
Saint Trifon received the greatest glory when he was asked to expel the evil spirit from the daughter of the Roman emperor Gordian. Saint Tryphon helped everyone who asked for help, and as a payment asked only for faith in Jesus Christ.
When the royal throne was led by Emperor Decius, he was informed of the preaching of Saint Tryphon to faith in God and bringing many to Baptism . After this, the martyr was seized and taken to the interrogation, where he without fear confessed his faith, in connection with which he was subjected to heavy agony. But at the same time he did not utter a groan.
