Life
Holy Martyr Mucius of Byzantium, called Mocius in some sources, was a priest in Byzantium (Constantinople) and received the crown of martyrdom at Amphipolis in Macedonia in the year 304, in the time of Diocletian's persecution. His name remained tied to one of the oldest churches of Constantinople, which bears it.
The sources at hand give no details of his trial and death. The Church commemorates him on 13 May (new style).
