Soterichus

Holy Martyr Soterichus is commemorated on 24 October (new style) with the martyrs Mark and Valentine. The Greek synaxarion says they were from Asia, that they were seized by pagans because they were Christians and that they were dragged over sharp stones to death. Their relics were brought to the island of Thasos.

The name Soterichus comes from the Greek word meaning “savior”. No other data about his life are known from the sources consulted.
