Life

Holy Martyr Thomas was an infant killed for Christ. He is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 1 November (new style), together with Caesarius, Agrippa, Adrian, Dasius and others.

The synaxarion says that Caesarius and Dasius, with five other companions, Sabbas, Sabinian, Agrippa, Adrian and Thomas the infant, were seized at Damascus and subjected to various torments to make them deny Christ. Because they did not renounce their faith, all received the crown of martyrdom by beheading. No other details of Thomas are preserved in the sources consulted.
