Life

Holy Martyr Atticus is commemorated on 29 April together with Saint Quintian (and, in one calendar, with Neon).

He is unknown in the Synaxarion of Nicodemus the Hagiorite, but appears in the Synaxarion of Delehaye, which speaks of "the martyrdom of the holy martyrs Quintian and Atticus". No other reports of his life survive. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
