Life

Martyr Ammo, called Ammonius in the Greek source, was a reader of the Church and received the crown of martyrdom in the year 304, in the Pentapolis of Libya, together with the saints Theodore the hieromartyr, Irenaeus the deacon, and Serapion, also a reader.

The synaxarion places their death in the persecution at the beginning of the fourth century and says nothing more about the manner of their torments. The saints are commemorated together on 26 March, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
