Life

Saint Probus is commemorated on 16 December (new style, the Greek calendar) together with Saint Hilarius. The synaxarion says that both (the name of Probus also appears as Promus) received martyrdom by the sword. A verse puts a dialogue on their lips: Probus says that the flame is like green grass, and Hilarius answers: yes, dearest Probus.
