Mamas

Saint Mamas is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 12 July (new style), together with Saint Serapion the Younger, in the list "Mamas and Serapion".

The synaxarion relates of Serapion that he lived in the time of Emperor Severus, a God-⁠fearing man; seized by the governor Aquila, he confessed that he believed in and worshipped Christ and was thrown into the fire and burned alive. Of Mamas a Greek synaxarion site notes that he may be the same martyr commemorated on 2 September, and in the synaxarion he is called "the one beyond, at the Sigma". No further details are preserved.
