Saint Polyeucte was a Roman officer martyred for the Catholic Faith by the Emperor Valerian in the year 250 A.D. The story of his martyrdom is so dramatic that the famous French dramatist Pierre Corneille wrote a play in his memory. Polyeucte has become a classic - a masterful tale of love, faith and sacrifice against the backdrop of ancient Armenia. An heroic story of the triumph of faith over political allegiance.
