<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki''' (Άγιος Δημήτριος της Θεσσαλονίκης in Greek) was a Christian martyr who lived in the [[4th century]]. He is also referred to as "the Megalomartyr" (Great Martyr) by the [[Greeks]].<br />
<br />
Demetrius was a deacon in [[Thessaloniki]]. Early legends about Demetrius credit him with a military career in the Roman army, so he is also sometimes called a military martyr. He was run through with spears ca [[306]] at Sirmium in modern Serbia, during the Christian persecutions of emperor Maximian.<br />
<br />
He was extremely popular in the Middle Ages and, along with [[Saint George]], he was the patron of the Crusades.<br />
<br />
St. Demetrius' relics are kept in [[Thessaloniki]], [[Greece]], a city of which he is the patron saint. His memory is celebrated on the [[October 26]]. He is also revered by the Serbian Orthodox Church as ''Mitar'', having a feast of ''Mitrovdan'' on [[November 8]]th.<br />
<br />
St. Demetrius is also commonly spelled as St. Dimitrios by Greek migrants in [[Greek-Australian|Australia]] and the [[Greek-American|United States]], and commenly depicted in icons with the [[White Tower of Thessaloniki]] in the background. The tower depicted in the icons was build in the 16th century, centuries after his life, as the architecture of the older tower in the exact site is unknown.<br />
