Life

Holy Martyr Maximus of Damascus was one of the children of the martyrs Paul and Tatta. The Azbyka page says only this: Paul, Tatta and their children, Savinian, Maximus, Rufus and Eugenius of Damascus, were put to death for the confession of Christ. No data are kept of their lives, or of the time and place of their martyrdom.

They are commemorated on 8 October, according to the Greek calendar. Their names are not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.
