Life

Holy Martyr Agapius is one of eight martyrs commemorated together on 30 May (new style): Natalius, Aphrodisius, Agapius, Eusebius, Romanus, Teletius, Charalampus and Christina.

The synaxarion preserves little about them: Natalius died by the sword, and Romanus, Teletius (or Meletius) and Christina were put to the sword at Nicomedia. Of Agapius nothing more is said than that he is listed among them; the sources consulted know neither his place nor his time.

Commemorated the same day May 30
