Martyr
Marcian of Egypt
Martyr of Egypt, who suffered for Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Marcian of Egypt suffered in Egypt in the time of the emperor Maximian (305-311), together with Nicander, Hyperechius, Apollo, Leonides, Arius, Gorgius, Selinus, Irenaeus and Pambo. For their firm confession of faith in Christ they were subjected to cruel scourging. Barely alive, they were thrown into prison, where an angel appeared to them and healed their wounds. The miracle persuaded many pagans to turn to Christ. The holy martyrs died in prison of hunger and thirst.
They are commemorated on 18 June, in the new style.
