Saints Leontius, Hypatius and Theodolus (Greek: Λεόντιος, Ὑπάτιος & Θεόδουλος) were Roman soldiers who, according to Christian tradition, were martyred for their faith.
Leontius was Greek by origin, and served as an officer of the imperial army in the Phoenician city of Tripoli during the reign of Vespasian (70–79).
Leontius was distinguished for his bravery and good sense, and the people of Tripoli held him in deep respect because of his virtue.
Along the way the tribune Hypatius fell seriously ill, and being near death, he saw in a dream an angel, which said: "If you wish to be healed, you and your soldiers should say three times: 'God of Leontius, help me.'".
His soul was filled with love for God, and he told Hypatius to proceed twice as quickly to the city in search of St Leontius.
Learning that their hospitable host was St Leontius, they fell on their knees and asked him to enlighten them with faith in the True God.
