Life

Holy Martyr Victorinus is one of the seven martyrs Claudius, Diodorus, Victor, Victorinus, Papias, Nicephorus and Serapion, commemorated together on 5 April. The sources do not preserve a particular story of their passion.

The Greek Synaxarion says that they might be the same as the seven martyrs of 31 January. Their service, with prayer canon, troparion and kontakion, remembers all seven together: Victorinus is named in it beside Victor and the others, and the Synaxarion's verses, dedicated to Claudius, speak of him who runs kneeling to death by beheading. Victorinus is commemorated on 5 April.
