Life

Saint Agathangelus is commemorated on 5 November (new style, the Greek calendar) together with Saint Castor. The synaxarion says that Agathangelus received martyrdom by the sword, while Castor died by fire. A verse plays on his name, likening him to an angel of Christ, and the sentence of his end was the sword.

Place, time and other details of his life are not preserved, and the synaxarion does not say that he was a bishop.
