Sylvester

Saint Sylvester is commemorated on 1 March (new style) in the calendar of the Church of Greece in two ways. First, as a martyr who died by the sword together with Sophronius, in a company that includes Antonius, Marcellus, Agapius, Nikephoros, Charisius and Nestorianus. A verse says that Sylvester did not endure to worship error and bore the cutting together with Sophronius.

Second, the Kanonarion of Jerusalem, at p. 36, commemorates Sylvester, a patriarch, with the words: in the Church of the Resurrection, of the holy patriarch Sylvester. His commemoration was held in the church of the Resurrection, but it is not known of which city he was patriarch. It cannot be said whether the two are the same person.
