“The Holy Martyr Porphyrius suffered during the reign of Julian the Apostate (361-363). Porphyrius was an actor and on the emperor’s birthday he was performing a role at the theater, where he was supposed to mock the mystery of holy Baptism.” (https://oca.org/…/…/09/15/102620-martyr-porphyrius-the-actor)
