Biography

Saint Neon of Lydda, a humble witness to the faith, is commemorated for his courageous conversion and martyrdom in the early Christian era. Born in the city of Lydda (modern-day Lod, Israel), Neon's life took a decisive turn upon witnessing the unwavering courage and profound faith of Saint George, the soldier-martyr, as George faced persecution for his Christian witness. Inspired by George's steadfastness, Neon himself embraced the Christian faith, a choice that would cost him his life.
