St. Mark The Apostle and miracle of lion and lioness

Aristopolis, St. Mark's father, was the first to receive the faith through his son.
On their way to Jordan they were faced by two beasts, a lion and lioness, The father realized that they would be eaten soon by the beasts.
He urged his son to escape, and leave himself to the lions. St Mark assured him that Christ would protect them and prayed saying, "O' Christ the Son of God, save us." , Immediately the lions perished and they were saved .
Arstopolis accepted Christ immediately through his son and confessed his faith The father died later as a believer
