Life

Clerus of Antioch was a deacon and martyr of Antioch, remembered on 7 January.

The Roman Martyrology says that, because he professed faith in Christ, he was tortured seven times, kept a long while in prison and at length ended his martyrdom by beheading. We have no data on the time of his martyrdom.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant.
