Life
Holy Martyr Macarius of Alexandria was one of those who received the martyr's death for Christ at Alexandria in the time of the emperor Decius (249-251), together with the presbyter Faustus, the deacon Abibus and others: Calodote, Macarius, Andrew, Cyriacus, Dionysius, Andrew, Andropelagia, Thecla, Cyriacus, Theoctistus and Sarapamon. The Azbyka page commemorates them together and says nothing separate about Macarius.
During the persecution they firmly confessed themselves Christians before the governor Valerius and were beheaded with the sword around 250. Their bodies were buried by Christians in Alexandria.
They are commemorated on 19 September, in the new style.
