Life
Holy Martyr Marcian of Dorostolon († 302/303) and his comrade Nicander were soldiers in units of the imperial army in the Balkans. They confessed their faith in Christ before the governor Maximus, who shut them in prison. After twenty days in prison and the torments that followed, they were killed with the sword for the confession of faith, before the eyes of their wives and children, at Dorostolon, in Moesia. The martyrs were buried at Aegissus.
They are commemorated on 21 June, in the new style. Their names are not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.
