Philip of Agira (also Argirò, Aggira, Agirone, Agirya or Argira) was an early Christian clergyman.
Traditionally, through the writings ascribed to Athanasius of Alexandria, it is maintained that Philip of Agira is a saint of the 1st century, born in the year 40 in Cappadocia (modern Turkey) and died as a hieromartyr on 12 May 103.
The other version of his biography, attributed to a certain Eusebio, says to have been born of Theodosius, a Syrian father, and Augia, a noble Roman woman, in Thrace in the time of Emperor Arcadius, 4th century.
His older brothers drowned while fishing and Philip dedicated himself to the service of God.
Philip is one of the patron saints of the United States Army Special Forces and also known for his power to accomplish exorcisms.
