Life

Holy Martyr Zeno endured terrible torments for Christ: he was smeared with pitch, then thrown into the fire and killed in the midst of the flames with a spear, as the Greek synaxarion relates.

No details survive of his life, or of the place or time of his martyrdom. He is commemorated on 5 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
