Life

Holy Martyr Elpidius is commemorated on 15 January (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with the martyrs Danax and Helen.

They are unknown to the Synaxarion of Saint Nicodemus the Hagiorite, except for Danax, who appears on 16 January. All three are found in Delehaye's synaxarion (Synaxaria Selecta, p. 393), without biographical data. The calendar lists them in a company that also includes Secundina and Pansophius.
