Saint Lucian the Martyr is commemorated on 19 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Euphrasia, Lucian, Paula and the children Claudius, Hypatius, Paul and Dionysius. The English calendar places on the same day the virgin martyr Euphrasia of Nicomedia, who suffered in 303.
