Life

Holy Martyr Narses the Persian is remembered on 9 December, by the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), together with the martyrs Bassa, Easios, Isaac and Sositheus. The synaxarion says that he was put to death by the sword. He may be the same as a martyr of the same name remembered on 9 November. Our sources give neither the years nor the place of his suffering.
