Stachys the Apostle - Definition and Overview

Stachys the Apostle was the bishop of Byzantium. He seemed to be closely connected to Saint Andrew and Saint Peter. It was not clear if Stachys was the same person with the one Peter calls "dear" in his letter to the Romans.

His feast day is on October 31.
