New Martyr
Theophanes
A new martyr who suffered in 1559.
Life
Holy New Martyr Theophanes suffered in the year 1559 and is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 8 July (new style), among the holy new martyrs.
The calendar also enters, on 8 June, a new martyr Theophanes, likewise of 1559, who suffered at Constantinople; this is probably the same man. The sources consulted do not say how he was brought to confession nor how he died, so only the name, the year and the probable place remain.
Commemorated the same day July 8
