Martyr
Mocius
Christian martyred for the faith of Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Mocius (Mocian) suffered together with Saint Mark. The two martyrs were seized as Christians and brought before the governor Maximian for judgment. They refused to sacrifice to idols and for this were condemned to death by beheading with the sword, in the fourth century. The Azbyka page says nothing else of Mocius's life. He is commemorated on 16 July, in the new style.
