Life
Holy Martyr Fafuil (in the Greek sources Tatuil) was a martyr who was hanged on a tree. The calendar page we rely on says nothing about the place, time or cause of his martyrdom, so we add nothing that is not known for certain.
He is commemorated on 17 August, according to the Greek tradition. His name is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
