Mark

Holy Martyr Mark is commemorated on 24 October (new style) with the martyrs Soterichus and Valentine. They were from Asia and were seized by pagans for their Christian faith. According to the Greek synaxarion they were dragged over sharp stones until they gave up their souls, and their relics were later moved to the island of Thasos.

The sources consulted say no more about his life. The Church keeps his name together with those of his companions in suffering.
