Silvanus
A martyr remembered in the synaxarion of the Greek Church.
Life
Saint Silvanus the Martyr is commemorated on 8 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Felicitas, Herenia, Rogatus, Felix, a second Rogatus, Beatus, Urban, Silvanus and Mammilus. The English calendar adds the hieromartyr Cyril, a bishop, and places them all in North Africa. Their names are also in the Roman Martyrology; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.
The sources consulted give no other details about his life or the manner of his death.
