one of the Seventy disciples according to Pseudo-Hippolytus
Feast: 4 January (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Urban of Macedonia (Greek: Ουρβανός) is numbered among the Seventy Apostles. Along with the Apostles Ampliatus, Stachys, Narcissus of Athens, Apelles of Heraklion and Aristobulus of Britannia (all of these names are mentioned together by St. Paul in Romans 16:8–11, which cannot be casual) he assisted Saint Andrew. St. Andrew ordained Urban bishop in Macedonia. He died a martyr, and his feast day is October 31.
