Life
Januarius and Pelagia of Nicopolis were martyrs of Nicopolis in Armenia, put to death around 320, in the time of the emperor Licinius. They are remembered together on 11 July.
They are recorded in the Jerusalem Martyrology. According to the sources they were beheaded or racked and torn with iron claws and pieces of earthenware. Scholars think they may be identical with the saints Januarius and Marinus, martyred in the same place and the same year under identical circumstances with the martyrs Nabor and Felix, whose remembrance is on 10 July. Alternatively, the four may have been a combination of Januarius and Pelagia with Nabor and Felix, martyrs of Italy in the early 4th century.
They are saints of the undivided Church; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is vague.
