Commemoration of Saint Artemios

Overview

The Orthodox Church commemorates Saint Artemius of Antioch, a 4th-century Roman military commander and martyr who served under Emperors Constantine the Great and Constantius II. Tradition holds that he was executed by decapitation following his defiance of Emperor Julian the Apostate.

In Greece, the Hellenic Police observe the ‘Day of the Greek Police’ by honoring Artemios as their patron saint. Commemorations include religious services and official ceremonies across various regions, such as Boeotia, Euboea, Evrytania, and Phocis. Notable ceremonies were held in Lamia and Thessaloniki, attended by high-ranking police officials and religious leaders to recognize the force’s mission in protecting citizens.
