Life
Macarius was a martyr who suffered at Thessalonica in the time of Emperor Diocletian (284 to 305), together with eight others: Abundantius, Alexander, Antigonus, Calanus, Januarius, Severian, Titian and Fortunatus, and with other Christians. The report is kept in ancient martyrologies. The number and the names of the martyrs differ from one manuscript to another, and we have no further news of their martyrdom. They are commemorated on 27 February (Greek synaxarion, new style).
