Life

Holy Martyr Marciana is commemorated in the Orthodox Church on 24 May, as a martyr of the early Christian centuries. In icons she is sometimes shown together with Venerable Simeon of the Wondrous Mountain and other holy women martyrs, and in this way she is remembered in the calendar on the same day.

The sources available to us preserve no details of her life, of the place and time of her martyrdom, or of the manner of her death.
