Life

Holy Martyr Theagenes was given to the fire for faith in Christ. The calendar page we rely on says nothing about his place, time or earlier life, so we add nothing that is not known for certain.

He is commemorated on 16 October, according to the Greek tradition. His name is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
