The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Parmenas''' was one of the original seven deacons [[deacon]]s chosen by the Twelve [[Twelve Apostles]] to minister to the [[Church of Jerusalem]], according to the [[Acts of the Apostles]]. He was also one of the [[Seventy Apostles]] sent out by [[Jesus ]] in the [[Gospel of Luke ]], chapter 10. After preaching for many years in Asia Minor, he settled down in Macedonia. Hippolytus says that Parmenas was the [[Bishop ]] of Soli. He is thought to have died a [[martyr ]] in Philippi, Macedonia , in the year 98 AD, during the persecution of the Christians under the Roman Emperor Trajan.
