Biography

Photinus of Nicomedia (died 288) is venerated as a saint and martyr within the Greek Orthodox Church and is commemorated on August 12. Given his name, Photius or Photinus of Marmora from Nicomedia in Asia Minor was presumably of Greek descent. (In Greek, Φωτεινός or foteinos, pronounced fotinos, means 'bringer of light' or 'bringer of enlightenment').
