On September 3, the holy hieromartyr Antimus, bishop of Nicodemus is commemorated. He was an outstanding Christian saint and martyr who lived in the 3rd century. He was a bishop in the city of Nicodemus (now Izmit, Turkey) and was noted for his piety, wisdom and zeal in serving God.

During the great persecution of Christians, which began under the emperor Diocletian (284-305), Antimus remained faithful to his flock, supporting them and strengthening them in the faith. Because of his activities, he attracted the attention of the Roman authorities. The military caught Antimus and brought him to court, where he was brutally tortured in an attempt to force him to renounce Christianity.
