Life

Holy Hieromartyr Maurus is commemorated on 1 May, "together with those near him".

He is unknown in the Greek synaxaria and in the Menaia. In the Synaxarion of Delehaye (p. 647) he is called a hieromartyr, while in a codex of the Monastery of Grottaferrata, which also contains his service, he is called simply a martyr. No other details of his life are preserved. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
