Life
Holy Martyr Glycerius is a martyr whose time and place of death are not known. His commemoration appears in the Typikon of the Great Church of the tenth century, in the Synaxarion of the Church of Constantinople of the same century and in other Byzantine calendars.
In the Patmos manuscript of the Typikon of the Great Church (ninth to tenth centuries) and in other sources he is listed alone, but often he appears with the martyrs Inda, Domna, Seleucus, Agapius and Mamas. He may be one and the same person as the priest Glycerius who suffered at Nicomedia. In some verse synaxaria he was mistakenly called Glyceria.
He is commemorated on 16 December, according to the Greek calendar. He is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Church.
