Vulpian of Tyre was a young Christian martyr who lived in the Levant during the late third and early fourth centuries. According to historical accounts, he was part of the group of Christians persecuted in Palestine under the rule of Diocletian and Galerius. After demonstrating his faith before the governor Urbanus, he suffered severe physical torture, including scourging and the use of a rack. He is remembered for his steadfastness in the face of these brutal punishments.
