Life
Saint Thyrsus the Martyr is commemorated on 31 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Saturninus, Thyrsus and Victor. The English calendar places them at Alexandria, and their names are also found in Western sources; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.
On the same day the calendar also lists another group of martyrs, Tharsicius, Zoticus, Cyriacus and Socius. The sources consulted give no details about the life or the suffering of Thyrsus.
Commemorated the same day January 31
