Orestes

Holy Martyr Orestes is commemorated on 9 June together with the holy martyrs Diomedes and Rhodion (or Rhodon).

They are unknown in the Synaxarion of Nicodemus the Hagiorite and appear in the Synaxarion of Delehaye without any biographical note. In two codices, no. 1575 (f. 112) of the Paris library and D 10 (f. 15) of the Lavra, there is a common service for them by the hymnographer Joseph. Their commemoration is also recorded in codex no. 53 of the Vlatadon Monastery. Their commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
