Life

Holy Martyr Maximus was from Marcianopolis in Thrace and suffered together with Saints Theodotus and Asclepiodota because they confessed Christ. First they were scourged, then their hands and feet were cut off, they were thrown into prison and, at the end, beheaded. They are remembered on 17 September, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
