# Serapion Of Ephesus, A Pious Man, Torn Limb From Limb, Thrown Out Of The Window, And Killed, For The Testimony Of Jesus Christ, At Alexandria, A. D. 252. 252 · Historical source Source: Martyrs’ Mirror. Original heading: SERAPION OF EPHESUS, A PIOUS MAN, TORN LIMB FROM LIMB, THROWN OUT OF THE WINDOW, AND KILLED, FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST, AT ALEXANDRIA, A. D. 252. Source heading; not independently verified As the aforementioned bloodthirstiness of the heathen at Alexandria did not abate, but increased more and more, against those who confessed the name of Jesus Christ, it came to pass that they laid their hands on a pious Christian, called Serapion, an Ephesian by birth. They dragged him out of his house, tore him almost limb from limb, and finally threw him out of a window; in consequence of which, after many torments, and having commended his soul to God, he tasted death, and thus was counted among the number of the steadfast and blessed martyrs.
