Secundus was a priest in Alexandria of Egypt. He was put to death by the Arians, together with most of his faithful, while the Arians dominated the Church in the East. They were zealous supporters of the usurper who then held the patriarchal throne of Alexandria, during the exile of Saint Athanasius.
