Martyr
Serapion
Life
Holy Martyr Serapion is one of the seven martyrs Claudius, Diodorus, Victor, Victorinus, Papias, Nicephorus and Serapion, commemorated together on 5 April. The sources preserve few facts about them.
Their service includes a troparion, a kontakion and a prayer canon, and the Greek Synaxarion adds that they are probably the same as the seven martyrs commemorated on 31 January. Their troparion, also sung in Greek, says that they received from God the crown of incorruption and overthrew the tyrants. Serapion is commemorated on 5 April, in the company of the seven.
