Life

Saint Limnus the Martyr is commemorated on 11 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) among those who suffered with the holy Hieromartyr Pionius, the presbyter of Smyrna, who was martyred in the year 250: Sabina, Macedonia and Asclepiades. The Church honours them together, as confessors of Christ in time of persecution.
