Life

The Holy Martyrs Conon the father and Conon the son suffered together for faith in Jesus Christ. The father was an old man and the son a youth of seventeen. They were sawn asunder.

The Serbian source says that they suffered in the time of the emperor Domitian, in the year 275. The two do not fit, for Domitian reigned in the first century, while the year 275 belongs to the time of Aurelian, so their time is uncertain.

The Serbian Orthodox Church commemorates them on 6 March by the church calendar (19 March by the Gregorian).

Commemorated the same day March 6
