Valentine

Holy Martyr Valentine is commemorated on 24 October (new style) with the martyrs Mark and Soterichus. According to the Greek synaxarion, they were from Asia, were seized by pagans because they were Christians and were dragged over sharp stones until death. Their relics were moved from Asia to the island of Thasos, where they are kept to this day.

The exact time and place of their suffering are not given.
