Life

Holy Martyr Serinus is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 5 June (new style), together with Saint Plutarch, Archbishop of Cyprus.

Of Plutarch, a Greek synaxarion site says that his name is entered among the saints of Cyprus in the chronicle of Leontios Machairas and that he appears as the sixth bishop of Cyprus, after the Apostle Barnabas, in the list of the bishops of Salamis; the same name occurs in seventh-⁠century inscriptions at the church of Saint Sergius. The classical synaxaria say nothing about him. About Serinus the sources consulted contain no particulars: neither the place nor the time of his martyrdom.
