The saint behind the name
Mamas
September 2, Martyr, Μάμας
St. Mamas was a young shepherd of Caesarea in Cappadocia, born to parents who had themselves suffered imprisonment for Christ. Living simply in the hills with his flock, he confessed the faith openly during the persecutions of the third century and endured torture and death rather than deny his Lord.
