Conon of Perga was a 3rd-century Christian martyr born in Nazareth. Belonging to a Greek Christian family, he was eventually executed in Pamphylia around 250 during the reign of Emperor Decius. He refused to offer sacrifices to pagan deities, which led to his death. Some scholars, such as Richard Bauckham, suggest he may have been a relative of Jesus, based on accounts stating he was part of the family of Christ. He is often identified as a gardener in various traditions.
