Life

Holy Martyr Coronatus of Caesarea (Bithynia), also called Cornutus, was one of the martyrs Thyrsus, Leucius and Coronatus, who suffered in the third century in Bithynia, in the time of the emperor Decius (249-251), together with their company. They suffered at Caesarea of Bithynia and at Apollonia. The Azbyka page notes that Coronatus may be the same person as Cornutus, whose commemoration is kept on 12 September.

The page says nothing else about him. Saint Coronatus is commemorated on 30 August, in the new style.

Commemorated the same day August 17
