Life
Holy Martyr Promus was an Egyptian Christian martyred at Ascalon in Palestine in the time of the emperor Maximinus, and so rather at the beginning of the fourth century than in the third.
The sources keep only this about him. The old martyrologies commemorate him on 14 December in the Western calendar. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured without synodal canonization.
