Life
Holy Martyr Gaius of Nicomedia is remembered together with the martyrs Dasius and Zoticus, who received a martyr's end in the year 303, in the time of the emperor Diocletian (284-305), for destroying a temple of the idols.
Being in Nicomedia, they once entered the temple of the idols and overturned the altars. After tortures the holy martyrs were drowned in the sea. The Azbyka page gives no other details of Gaius. The saints are commemorated on 3 November.
