Life
Holy Martyr Sarapamon of Alexandria was one of the eleven martyrs who suffered with the priest Faustus and the deacon Abibus, at Alexandria, in the time of the emperor Decius (249-251). With them were Calodota, Macarius, Andrew, Cyriacus, Dionysius, another Andrew, Andropelagia, Thecla, another Cyriacus and Theoctistus.
During the persecution, all confessed themselves Christians before the governor Valerius and were beheaded around the year 250. Their bodies were buried by the Christians at Alexandria. No other details are kept.
St Sarapamon is commemorated on 19 September, in the new style.
