Saint Sarkis the Warrior was a 4th-century Greek general from Cappadocia who served under the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Following the rise of the pagan emperor Julian, he fled to Armenia and later entered the service of the Sassanid emperor Shapur II. Known for his deep faith and military skill, he eventually faced martyrdom alongside his son, Martiros, after refusing to participate in Zoroastrian rituals. He is highly regarded as a military saint and a symbol of devotion.
