Ὁ Ἅγιος Μάρτυς Ζώσιμος καταγόταν ἀπὸ τὴν Ἀπολλωνιάδα τῆς Θράκης καὶ ἄθλησε κατὰ τοὺς χρόνους τοῦ αὐτοκράτορος Τραϊανοῦ (98 – 117 μ.Χ.) καὶ ἡγεμόνος τῆς ἐν Πισιδίᾳ Ἀντιοχείας Δομετιανοῦ. Ὑπηρετῶν στὶς τάξεις τῶν ρωμαϊκῶν λεγεώνων καὶ δεχθεὶς τὸν Χριστιανισμό, ἀπέρριψε τὸν ὁπλισμό του καὶ καταφυγὼν σὲ Χριστιανικὴ ἐκκλησία ἐβαπτίσθηκε. Καταγγέλθηκε γι’ αὐτό, συνελήφθη, ὁδηγήθηκε δὲ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Δομετιανοῦ καὶ ἀφοῦ ὁμολόγησε μὲ πνευματικὴ ἀνδρεία τὸν Χριστό, καταδικάσθηκε σὲ θανάτωση μὲ σκληρὰ βασανιστήρια. Ἔτσι, τὸν ἐκρέμασαν καὶ τοῦ καταξέσχισαν τὶς σάρκες, τὸν ἅπλωσαν ἐπάνω σὲ πυρακτωμένη σχάρα, τοῦ ἐφόρεσαν σιδερένια ὑποδήματα φέροντα ἐσωτερικῶς καρφιὰ καὶ τὸν ὑποχρέωσαν νὰ τρέχει δεμένος ὄπισθεν πόλου, γιὰ νὰ μεταβεῖ στὴν πόλη τῶν Κανανέων, ὅπου καὶ ἀποκεφαλίσθηκε.
