Charalambos was an early Christian priest and bishop from Magnesia on the Maeander, living during the reign of Septimius Severus. He is celebrated as a martyr who died in Antioch of Pisidia in 202, potentially at the age of 113. After years of spreading the Gospel, he was arrested by local authorities for his refusal to sacrifice to idols. Despite undergoing severe torture, he maintained his faith, leading to the conversion of several observers before his eventual death.
