Urban of Macedonia 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.

Urban is venerated as saint by Eastern Orthodox Church (January 4, October 31), Roman Catholic Church (July 13) and other Christian Churches.

Holy Apostles of the Seventy: Stáchys, Amplías, Úrban, Narcíssus, Apélles, and Aristobúlus,

Eentreat the merciful God

To grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.

Let us thankfully praise the wise Apostles

Stáchys, Amplías, Úrban, Narcíssus, Apélles, and Aristobúlus,

Those treasures of the Holy Spirit and rays of the Sun of glory,

Who were gathered together by the grace of our God.
