Life
Holy Martyr Diogenes is commemorated on 5 December (new style, the Greek calendar). According to the synaxarion he received martyrdom by stoning. A verse says that the martyr rejoices as deluded men clothe him in a tunic of stone.
His hymns speak of the martyr of the Lord, full of strength, who by divine power endured the shower of stones in a stadium and confessed Jesus. Place and time are not preserved.
