Saint Triantaphyllos was a 17th-century Greek martyr who lived from 1663 to 1680. Born in Zagora, he spent his time working as a fisherman before being captured by Ottoman forces. Following his capture, he was brought to Constantinople, where he faced intense persecution. Because he refused to abandon his Christian beliefs in favor of Islam, he was subjected to torture and ultimately executed by beheading.
