Life

Saint Agathangelus of Damascus lived in the third century and was a bishop of Damascus. The Greek synaxarion says no more about his life; the same source remembers, on 7 February, a martyr Agathangelus who suffered in the third century at Damascus in Syria, perhaps the same as the bishop.

He is commemorated as a bishop on 8 February, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece, and the Church of Antioch honours him among the hierarchs of Damascus.
