Life
Holy Martyr Valerian is commemorated on 25 October (new style). The Greek synaxarion links the name with the martyrs Valerius (or Valerinus) and Chrysaphius, who were sentenced to the sword. He seems to be the same martyr, but the sources consulted do not confirm this.
No details of his life have been preserved. The Church commemorates him as a confessor of Christ, together with Chrysaphius.
