Severian
A martyr who confessed Christ unto death around 284.
Life
Holy Martyr Severian is one of the nine martyrs commemorated on 20 April: Victor, Zoticus, Acindynus, Caesarius, Christopher, Zeno, Theonas and Antoninus. They suffered in the year 303, in the time of Diocletian, after seeing the miracles of the holy Great Martyr George.
Severian was one of the five who, seeing George unharmed on the torture wheel, confessed with one voice Christ as true God, together with Victor, Acindynus, Zoticus and Zeno. They were beheaded then and there. The other four, guards of the emperor, were later thrown into the furnace.
He is commemorated on 20 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
