'''Prochorus''' was one of the [[Seven Deacons]] chosen to care for the poor of the [[Christian]] community in [[Jerusalem in Christianity|Jerusalem]] ([[Acts 6:5]]). According to the later tradition he was one of the [[Seventy Apostles]] sent out by [[Jesus]] in [[Luke 10]].

Tradition calls Prochorus the nephew of [[Saint Stephen|Stephen]] the [[martyr|Protomartyr]]. St Prochorus accompanied the holy Apostle Peter, who ordained him to be the bishop in the city of Nicomedia.[1] He is also thought to have been a companion of [[John the Theologian|John]] the [[Apostle (Christian)|Apostle]], who consecrated him [[bishop]] of [[Nicomedia]] in [[Bithynia]]. He was wrongly thought to have been the author of the [[New Testament apocrypha|apocryphal]] [[Acts of John]],[2] which is dated by present scholars to the end of the 2nd century.[3] According to the late tradition he was the bishop of [[Antioch]] and ended his life as a martyr in Antioch in the 1st century.[4][5]

In Orthodox iconography he is always depicted as a scribe of [[John the Evangelist]].[6]
