Mark

Holy Hieromartyr Mark was bishop of Apolloniada and died, according to the Synaxarion, hung by his hands with heavy stones tied to them, like a balance. He is commemorated on 16 June.

The Greek Synaxarion says in verse that, hung head downward with great stones tied to his hands, he was left to swing in the void, and the weight of the stones killed him. Other details of his life, and of the time and place of his martyrdom, have not been preserved in the sources we have.
