Life

Holy Martyr Victor is counted among the seven martyrs Claudius, Diodorus, Victor, Victorinus, Papias, Serapion and Nicephorus, commemorated together on 5 April. One calendar says they accomplished the contest of martyrdom at Corinth.

The Greek synaxarion adds that they are most probably the same as the martyrs of 31 January. The hymnography calls them a company of seven martyrs, fearless soldiers of Christ who overcame tyrants. The synaxarion verses say that Claudius was beheaded by the sword. No other details of Victor survive.

Their commemoration is on 5 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
