Life

Saint Danabus is one of the eight martyrs Danabus, Demetrius, Eusebius, Leontius, Longinus, Nestabus, Neon and Christopher, who suffered in the year 303, in the time of Diocletian (284-305).

They came to the Christian faith by seeing the miracles worked by the holy Great Martyr George. They confessed Christ, were arrested and imprisoned, then, by order of Diocletian, were hung, flayed and finally beheaded. So they received the unfading crown of martyrdom.

They are commemorated together on 24 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).

Commemorated the same day April 24
