Saint Christopher is commemorated on 19 November (new style, the Greek calendar) in a group of five martyrs: Anthimus, Thalelaeus, Christopher, Euphemia (with her children) and Pancharius. A verse asks Christ to receive the five athletes and to give them five crowns as the prize for their contests.

The synaxarion says that no details of their lives are known. Place and time are not preserved.
