Remembered on November 11

Menas, Victor and Vincent

  • Menas: Great Martyr
  • Victor: Great Martyr
  • Vincent: Hieromartyr

Menas, Victor and Vincent share a day of remembrance, but were not companions in one event. They lived during the Roman persecutions. Menas is remembered as a soldier from Egypt, and Vincent as a deacon. The Church brings their names together in prayer because each remained faithful to Christ when that faith put his life at risk.

How they died

Tradition holds that Menas and Victor were beheaded; Vincent died after torture, although accounts differ about the manner of his death.
