Saint Artemon, Bishop of Seleucia, was born and lived in Seleucia of Pisidia (Asia Minor). He was known for his piety and virtuous life. When the holy Apostle Paul visited Seleucia, he appointed Saint Artemon as the first bishop of the city due to his worthiness. Saint Artemon cared for his flock with wisdom and compassion, particularly known for his care for the poor and oppressed. He passed away in old age, leaving behind a legacy of faith and service.
Artemon, also known as Menignus, was a native of Seleucia and was educated there. He was appointed as bishop by Apostle Paul himself, who further nurtured his faith. Artemon served his community with love and dedication, tending to both their spiritual and physical needs. He departed from this world after a long and fruitful life.
