Judas Cyriacus, Bishop of Ancona
He is said to have been the bishop of Ancona who died or was killed during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He is also (mis)identified with Bishop Judas Cyriacus of Jerusalem (Saint Cyriacus of Jerusalem), who was killed during a riot there in 133 AD. His feast is celebrated in the Eastern Orthodox Church on April 14. (The 2nd century Bishop Judah Kyriakos of Jerusalem is said to the last in the desposynic line for that post, his predecessors also being descendents from the Family of Jesus. This meant that '2nd century' Judah Kyriakos was the last Christian Bishop of Jerusalem who happened to still have Jewish origins.)
