Gordius

Roman officer and Christian martyr · Died 320

Saint Gordius was a Christian soldier in Cappadocia who was dismissed from the Roman army, lived as a hermit for a while, then returned and made an open declaration of his faith, for which he was martyred in the city of Caesarea Maritima.

Gordius is read about 7.5 times a day, in 11 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 17 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
