Life

Saint Valerinus is commemorated on 29 November (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says of him only that he received martyrdom by the sword; his name is also written Valerianus. A verse puts on the martyr's lips the words that for the all-⁠honoured crown he will bear the sword too.

Place and time are not preserved. Another Valerinus is commemorated on 25 October.
