Saints Diodorus the presbyter and Marianus the deacon suffered martyrdom with Sts Chrysanthus and Daria.
In
a cave near the place of execution, Christians began to gather to honor
the anniversary of the saints’ martyrdom. They celebrated Church
services and partook of the Holy Mysteries. Learning of this, the pagan
authorities sealed the entrance to the cave, and those within received
the crown of martyrdom.
Two of these martyrs are known by name: the Presbyter Diodorus and the Deacon Marianus.
