ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Tryphon was a Christian martyr from Asia Minor, honoured both by the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Church. In the Byzantine years the main centres of his cult were Asia Minor and Constantinople. Especially after 1204, when his relics seem to have been transported by the crusaders from Constantinople to Rome, his cult became widespread in Nicaea. The beginnings cult of the saint as the patron of cultivation, and particularly viniculture, probably date back to the 10th century. |
