Life

Saint Faustus is commemorated on 25 October (new style, the Greek calendar) together with Basil and Lucian, as martyrs who received the crown by the sword. A verse says that the three fellow strugglers had a single end, by the sword, and a single mind turned to God.

The Greek source observes that they may be the same as Faustus, Basil and Silvanus, commemorated on 6 February, because they share the same verse. Place and time are not preserved.

Commemorated the same day October 25
