Life

Holy Martyr Isaac is commemorated on 9 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says of him only that he received martyrdom by the sword. A verse says that the young Isaac, slain, fulfilled what was lacking in the suffering of Isaac, the son of Sarah.

The Greek source notes that he may be the same as the one commemorated on 22 September. Place and time are not preserved.
