Life
Holy Martyr Sak the Persian is remembered in the Greek Menaion on 17 November, by the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). He is a little-known saint: the synaxaria say nothing of him, and his name is found only in Parisian Codex 1578, without an account. He may be the same as the martyr Sactus, remembered on 25 July.
His years, his place and his sufferings are not known; the epithet shows only that he was of Persian origin.
