Life

Holy Martyr Angias is one of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste (today Sivas in Turkey), put to death under the emperor Licinius, around the year 320.

His commemoration is kept on 9 March in the East, in the Menaion calendar (in the Churches that keep the old style, the same day falls on 22 March), and locally on 10 March in the West. He is a saint of the undivided Church. The sources say nothing in particular about his life before the martyrdom.
