Marcius

Holy Martyr Marcius is commemorated together with Saint Marcia on 27 June, and in some sources also on 26 June, beside Therapon and Macarius.

Marcia died by the sword. Of Marcius it is known that he was led before the ruler of Iconium, Perinius, and, because he confessed Christ, his body was flayed, he was laid on a red-⁠hot grill, his tongue was cut out, and at last his head was cut off. The verse of the synaxarion says that their names united them, and that the sword brought them together in death as well. Their commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
