Life

Saint Donagus was bishop of Libya and suffered by fire.

The verse of the synaxarion addresses him: "Quench the fire, Donagus, for from your head, as Christ says, not a single hair will perish". The calendar commemorates him on 28 June among the martyrs, together with Macedonius, Pappias and Moses. No other details of his life, or of the place or time of his confession, are preserved. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
