Life

Licarion of Egypt was a martyr in Egypt, remembered on 7 June.

The Roman Martyrology says that Saint Licarion was lacerated, scourged with heated iron rods and, after other horrible torments, was crowned with martyrdom by a stroke of the sword. We have no data on the time of his martyrdom.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant.
