Life

Holy Martyr Claudianus of Perge (Pamphylia) was one of three brothers, Papias, Diodorus and Claudianus, shepherds of Pamphylia. They suffered in the Decian persecution, in the year 250, for spreading the faith of Christ.

The Azbyka page gives no other details. Saint Claudianus is commemorated on 16 February, in the new style. The passion of the three brothers is also found in the Lives of the Saints by Saint Dimitry of Rostov.
