Saint Polychronia and Saint Gerontius were the parents of Saint George the Trophy-bearer. Saint Polychronia came from a noble family in Cappadocia. Her husband, Saint Gerontius, was initially a pagan but later embraced Christianity through the kindness and faith of Saint Polychronia. After his martyrdom, Saint Polychronia raised their son with Christian principles during a particularly difficult period marked by the fierce persecutions of Diocletian. She suffered a martyr's death on the same day as her son, having been arrested for her faith. For this reason, the Church honors Saint Polychronia on April 23rd.
