A Saint of the first century, Jason was a friend and host of Saint Paul (Acts 17:5) in Salonka, Thessalonica, during his second missionary journey. Jason was a prominent convert to Christianity and is probably the same Jason mentioned by Saint Paul in the Epistle to the Romans (16:21).
In the Greek legend Jason is described as the bishop of Tarsus, Cilicia, who evangelized Corfu, where he died. Syrian legend says he evangelized the area around Apamea and was martyred there by being thrown to wild beasts.
His Feast Day is July 12.
