Life
Holy Martyr Phaedrus suffered around the year 274, together with the Holy Martyr Philumenus of Ancyra. The calendar page we rely on says nothing else about his life or death, so we add nothing that is not known for certain.
He is commemorated on 12 December (new style). His name is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
