Life

Saint Maurice is commemorated on 1 July, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), as a martyr.

The verse of the synaxarion says that he, smeared naked with honey, judged the stings of the bees sweet. For his life, the synaxarion refers to 27 December. Some synaxaria commemorate him together with a certain Apollonia, but such a name is found nowhere else.
