[[Image:Prochororus the deacon.JPG|frame|right|Prochororus Prochorus the Deacon]]The holy, glorious and all-laudable '''Apostle Prochorus''' of the [[Apostle|Seventy]] was among the first [[deacon]]s in the Church along with [[Apostle Stephen the Protomartyr|Stephen]], [[Apostle Philip (of the Seventy)|Philip]], [[Apostle Parmenas|Parmenas]], [[Apostle Nicanor|Nicanor]], [[Apostle Timon|Timon]] and Nicholas. Although they died at various times and in various places, they are commemorated together on [[July 28]]. St. Prochorus is also commemorated on [[January 4]] with the [[Synaxis]] of the 70 Holy Apostles.
In the [[Acts of the Apostles]] (6:1-6) it is said that the twelve [[Apostle]]s chose seven men full of the [[Holy Spirit]] and wisdom, and appointed them to serve as deacons.
