Life

Holy Martyr Manuel is commemorated on 30 October (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says of him only that he received martyrdom by the sword. A verse speaks of blood that must be shed, and of a single cup of blood.

The Greek source notes that the saint's existence, his biographical data and the day of his feast have not been verified, and that he may be the same as the Manuel commemorated on 26 March. Place and time are not preserved.
