Life
Holy Martyr Mair is commemorated on 24 January, according to the Greek calendar. The time and place of his martyr's struggle are not known, and the Azbyka page says nothing else about him.
Some sources suppose that Mair is the same as Maior (Maion) of Gaza, who died in 302. Yet Archbishop Sergius (Spassky), in his "Complete Menologion of the East", writes of Maior of Gaza that he is distinct, according to the verses in the Prologue, from Mair of 11 January. The name of Mair is not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.
