Martyr
Faustus
A hierarch of the undivided Church, commemorated in the Greek synaxarion.
Life
Saint Faustus was a deacon and disciple of Saint Dionysius, bishop of Alexandria (3 October), together with Gaius, Eusebius and Chaeremon. Eusebius and Chaeremon buried the holy relics of the martyrs. In the end these too, after boldly confessing Christ, were beheaded. The page on saint.gr gives the year 264.
The calendar of the Church of Greece (new style) commemorates them on 3 October, as deacons of Dionysius of Alexandria. The title of hierarch given to Faustus on saint.gr has no support; he was a deacon.
