Diodorus

Holy Martyr Diodorus is one of the seven martyrs Claudius, Diodorus, Victor, Victorinus, Papias, Nicephorus and Serapion, commemorated together on 5 April. The Greek Synaxarion does not preserve details of their lives and thinks they are probably the same as the seven martyrs commemorated on 31 January.

Their troparion praises them as martyrs who received the crown of incorruption, overthrew the tyrants and crushed the powerless arrogance of the demons. The kontakion says that, like fearless soldiers of Christ, they put the opposing powers to flight and cried with one voice: "Christ is the crown of those who struggle." The passion of Diodorus is not told separately. He is commemorated on 5 April.
