Life
Holy Martyr Heraclius is commemorated on 12 July in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), together with Faustus, Menas, Andrew the General and those who suffered with them. The synaxarion states only that they were martyrs and that no details of their lives are known; their memory is repeated on 31 August. He is not to be confused with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius.
