Marian (3rd century)

confessor of faith

He served as a reader in the Christian community of Cirta, Algeria.

Biography

He was arrested under the command of Valerian like many Christians in that region of the Empire. They were gathered in the Lambese Valley, on the edge of a cliff. They blindfolded them and decapitated them all with sword blows.

Practical advice

Without seeking recognition, he begins an abandoned task again like someone who works and prays under the loving gaze of God.
