The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Herodian''' (also ''Herodion'' or ''Rodion'') was numbered among the [[Apostles#The_Seventy|Seventy Apostles]]. He was a relative of the [[Apostle Paul]] ([[Romans]] 16:11) and [[bishop]] of Neoparthia, where he suffered greatly at the hands of the Jews. After beating, stoning, and stabbing him, they left him for dead, but St. Herodian arose and continued to serve the Apostles. He was beheaded with [[Apostle Olympas|Olympas]] in Rome while they were serving the [[Apostle Peter]] on the same day that St. Peter was crucified. His [[feast day]]s are celebrated on [[January 4]] among the Seventy, [[April 8]], and [[November 10]]. ==Hymns== ===November 10=== [[Troparion]] ([[Tone]] 3) [http://www.oca.org/FStropars.asp?ID=103265] :Holy Apostles, [[Apostle Erastus|Erastus]], [[Apostle Olympas|Olympas]], Herodian, [[Apostle Sosipater|Sosipater]], [[Apostle Quartus|Quartus]] and [[Apostle Tertius|Tertius]], :entreat the merciful God, :to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.
