Quotes
- “I have greatly rejoiced with you in our Lord Jesus Christ, because ye have followed the example of true love [as displayed by God], and have accompanied, as became you, those who were bound in chains, the fitting ornaments of saints, and which are indeed the diadems of the true elect of God and our Lord; and because the strong root of your faith, spoken of in days long gone by, endureth even until now, and bringeth forth fruit to our Lord Jesus Christ, who for our sins suffered even unto death.”
- “The deacons be blameless before the face of His righteousness, as being the servants of God and Christ.”
- “Let the presbyters be compassionate and merciful to all, bringing back those that wander, visiting all the sick, and not neglecting the widow, the orphan, or the poor.”
- “Whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is antichrist.”

Policarpo di Smirne (Πολύκαρπος ὁ Σμυρναῖος; Smirne, seconda metà del I secolo – Smirne, 155 circa) è stato un vescovo, teologo e santo greco antico. Fu discepolo di Giovanni apostolo e divenne vescovo di Smirne durante il regno di Traiano. Come teologo, godette di grande autorità e fu uno dei pastori più stimati del tempo. È venerato come santo da molte Chiese cristiane e la sua memoria liturgica è celebrata il 23 febbraio o il 26 gennaio (per i copti, l'8 marzo). Dei suoi numerosi scritti, sono pervenute solo una Lettera di Policarpo ai Filippesi, scritta alla comunità di Filippi (tra il 107 e il 140), in cui riferisce del viaggio di Ignazio di Antiochia a Smirne e dalla quale si ricavano numerose informazioni sugli usi e la fede dei primi cristiani. Fu maestro di Ireneo di Lione, fondatore di chiese nelle Gallie e suo biografo. Secondo la tradizione, sarebbe stato lui ad inviare in Gallia Benigno di Digione, Andochio, Andeolo del Vivarais e Tirso (venerati come santi dalla Chiesa Cattolica) per evangelizzare il Paese.
