Life
Holy Martyr Cyriacus of Alexandria was one of eleven martyrs who died for Christ at Alexandria in the time of the emperor Decius (249-251), headed by the presbyter Faustus and the deacon Abibus. The Azbyka page says nothing particular about Cyriacus beyond what is told of them all.
During the persecution they all firmly confessed themselves Christians before the governor Valerius and were beheaded around the year 250. Their bodies were buried by Christians in Alexandria.
The saints are commemorated on 19 September, in the new style. Their passion is also found in the Lives of the Saints by Saint Dimitry of Rostov.
