Ammon

Holy Martyr Ammon is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 30 October (new style), in the list of the martyrs Alexander, Ammon, Asterius, Ater, Bisa, Dioscorus, Dometius, Epimachus, Eutropia, Eutropius, Zeno, Heron, Theophilus, Julian, Igenes, Isidore, Claudius, Quintus, Cronion, Macarius, Macar, Manuel, Mitras, Nemesion, Neonilla, Neon, Ptolemy and others.

For this day the synaxarion keeps the story of the martyrs of Alexandria in the time of Emperor Decius, in the year 250. Alexander and Cronion died after boiling lime was poured over them, Julian and Macarius were beheaded, and of the other thirteen some were burned alive and others beheaded. The synaxarion does not name the thirteen, so it cannot be said from this what Ammon suffered; about him no particulars of his own are preserved.
