Soldier
Christian of Egypt, martyred for the faith of Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Nicander the Soldier was one of ten martyrs, natives of Egypt, who suffered together in the time of the emperor Maximian (305-311).
With him suffered Marcian, Hyperechius, Apollo, Leonidas, Arius, Gorgias, Selinus, Irenaeus and Pambo. For their firm confession of faith in Christ they were subjected to cruel scourging. Barely alive, they were thrown into prison, where an angel appeared to them and healed their wounds. The miracle led many pagans to turn to Christ. The holy martyrs died in the prison of hunger and thirst.
They are commemorated on 18 June, in the new style. Their sufferings were written down by Saint Demetrius of Rostov.
