Faustus

Holy Martyr Faustus is commemorated on 31 August (new style) with Andrew, Heraclius and Menas, in the synaxis of four martyrs. The Greek synaxarion says that nothing is known about their lives, and its verses picture four competitors running in the hippodrome under God's eye while Satan falls.

The Church therefore keeps the names and the memory of these martyrs of Christ, without further historical detail about the place and time of their suffering. In some synaxaria they are linked with Andrew the Stratelates.
