Life

Holy Martyr Dionysius is one of the six martyrs of Thessalonica commemorated on 1 April, together with Alexander, Ingeniana, Pacerus, Parthenius and Saturninus.

The Hieronymian Martyrology, to which the Greek synaxarion refers, says only that they suffered in that city, most probably in the early days of Christianity. Nothing else is known of him. He is kept according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).

Commemorated the same day April 1
