Life
Holy Hieromartyr Serapion of Catania suffered on 12 September 304, together with thirteen other martyrs of Catania, among them Magnus and Secundinus. Their martyrdom followed that of Saint Euplus the Deacon, who had suffered in the same city, in Sicily, during Diocletian's persecution.
Of Serapion himself we have no further details than those kept in the martyrologies: he was a priest of Catania and confessed Christ at the same time as Euplus, paying for his faith with his life. He is commemorated on 12 September, the day of his martyrdom.
