Life

Holy Martyr Benjamin is commemorated on 29 July (new style) together with Berius, according to the Greek synaxarion. Their synaxis was held in Constantinople, near the palaces of the Hebdomon, the place where in former days the people gathered for great feasts.

Its verses say that the two athletes of the Holy Trinity now stand in heaven in spirit. No details survive about their lives, nor about the place and time of their suffering.
