Life

Holy Martyr Jadorus suffered between the years 249 and 251, in the time of Emperor Decius. His name does not appear in the Greek calendars. It seems that the name entered the Kyiv menologion of 1672 through a distortion of the name of the martyr Diodorus, who suffered in the time of Decius and is commemorated on 3 and 4 February.

He is commemorated on 17 February (new style).
