Our father among the saints '''Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch''' (probably died AD 107) was the third [[bishop]] of Antioch, after the [[Apostle Peter]] and [[Euodios of Antioch|Euodios]], whom Ignatius succeeded around AD 68. Ignatius, who also called himself '''Theophorus''' ("[[God-bearer]]"), was most likely a disciple of both [[Apostle|Apostles]] [[Apostle Peter|Peter]] and [[Apostle John|John]]. Several of his letters have survived to this day; he is one of the [[Apostolic Fathers]] (the earliest group of the [[Church Fathers]]), and a [[saint]] in the [[Orthodox Church]] (feastday, [[December 20]]).
