Saint Antigonus is commemorated on 13 October (new style, the Greek calendar) as a martyr of the time of the undivided Church. The Greek synaxarion says only that he received martyrdom by fire.

Neither place, year nor details of his life are preserved. A verse of the synaxarion shows him choosing the fire of this world in place of the fire of the world to come.
