Procopius the Confessor of Decapolis

Latin form of the Greek name Προκοπιος (Prokopios):

Greek προκοπη (prokope) = 'progress, advance'

 

Saints Procopius and Basil, fellow ascetics, lived about the middle of the eighth century, during the reign of Leo the Isaurian (717-741), from whom they suffered many things for the sake of the veneration of the holy icons. They ended their lives in the ascetical discipline.
