The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Jason''' is numbered among the [[Apostles#The_Seventy|Seventy Apostles]]. Born in Tarsus, he was appointed [[Bishop]] of Tarsus by the [[Apostle Paul]]. With the [[Apostle Sosipater]] he traveled to the island of Corfu where they built a church in honor of the [[Apostle Stephen the Protomartyr]] and converted many pagans to the Christian faith. Seeing this, the king of Corfu threw them into prison where they [[conversion|converted ]] seven other prisoners to the Christian faith: Saturninus, Jakischolus, Faustianus, Januarius, Marsalius, Euphrasius and Mammius. The kind king had those seven put to death for their faith in boiling pitch.

The king's daughter, the virgin Cercyra, having watched these holy Apostles apostles being tortured and turned to the Christian faith, distributing distributed all her jewels to the poor. The king became angry and put her in prison; , yet she would not deny Christ. So he had the prison burned, but she remained unharmed. Many people were [[baptism|baptized ]] upon seeing this [[miracle]]. He then had her killed with arrows while tied to a tree.
