Life
Saint Philippian the Martyr is commemorated on 30 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) with Felician and Philippian, at the head of a group of martyrs. The English calendar says that the group numbered one hundred and twenty-six martyrs in North Africa. Their names are in the Roman Martyrology, so they are saints of the undivided Church.
The sources consulted give no other details about his life or his suffering.
