Life

Holy Martyr Lollion the Elder was beaten to death for his faith in Christ. The Azbyka page has no life of him, does not say where or when he lived and tells nothing else about him.

The page adds that he may be the same saint as the martyr Lollian, whom the Greek Church commemorates on 15 July in the old style, which is 28 July in the new. The commemoration of Lollion the Elder is on 2 April, according to the Greek calendar, and his name is not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.

Commemorated the same day March 20
