Life

Saint Mamas is commemorated on 24 January (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Saint Hermogenes. No details of his life have survived.

A verse of the synaxarion says that Hermogenes and Mamas, friends of Christ, were not at all afraid to die for him. He should not be confused with the Great Martyr Mamas of Cappadocia.
