The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Herodian (also Herodion or Rodion) was numbered among the Seventy Apostles. He was a relative of the Apostle Paul (Romans 16:11) and bishop of Neoparthia, where he suffered greatly at the hands of the Jews.

He was beheaded with Olympas in Rome while they were serving the Apostle Peter on the same day that St. Peter was crucified. His feast days are celebrated on January 4 among the Seventy, April 8, and November 10.
