Life

Serapion and Twelve Companions were martyrs of Alexandria, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 19 May, by the Julian calendar (old style): Serapion, martyr, and twelve other martyrs. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, of the same origin, names a presbyter Serapion at Alexandria. The names of the others and the circumstances of their suffering have not survived.
