                    Jacob was a Priest of Beth Naggare
            near Adiabene who was martyred
          with the deacon Azad during the
          persecution of Shapur II. The executioner washed his bloody sword in a pool, and the blood
          desiccated the pool.
                    
                        The saint is venerated on Apr. 14..
                    
                    
                        
                            Jacob is commemorated in Jacob and Azad (text).
