Martyr
Cyril of Antinoupolis
Martyr of Antinoupolis, who suffered for Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Cyril of Antinoupolis was one of the holy martyrs Archelaus, Cyril, Photius and one hundred and fifty other martyrs whose names are not known. For confessing faith in Christ, after torments, they were beheaded in the Egyptian city of Antinoe (Antinoupolis) around 308 to 310. The lot of the martyrs was shared by Saint Herais, commemorated on 23 September.
The Azbyka page says nothing particular about Cyril beyond what is told of them all. The saints are commemorated on 18 March, in the new style, but their names are not in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
