Life
Holy Hieromartyr Faustus of Alexandria, a priest, suffered together with the deacon Avibus and eleven other martyrs, in Alexandria, in the time of the Emperor Decius (249 to 251). In the persecution they all firmly confessed themselves Christians before the governor Valerius and were put to the sword around 250. Their bodies were buried by Christians in Alexandria.
Faustus is commemorated on 19 September (new style), together with Avibus and the others. The story of their martyrdom was also written down by Saint Demetrius of Rostov.
