Life

Saint Longinus is one of the ascetic saints of the Church commemorated in the Synaxis of all the venerable fathers who shone in the ascetic struggle. The Azbyka page says nothing of his life: it does not say where or when he lived, has no account of him and gives no date of death.

His memory falls on the movable day of this synaxis, which in the calendar of the page is 13 March, in the new style.
