Saint Philetus was a noble dignitary at the court of the persecutor of Christians, the emperor Hadrian (117-138). For open confession of faith in Christ the Savior, Saint Philetus with his wife, Saint Lydia, and their sons, Saints Macedon and Theoprepius, was brought before the court. By order of Hadrian, Saint Philetus and his family were sent to Illyria to the military leader Amphilochius, so that he would subject them to torture.
