[Roman Martyrology. Commemorated by the Greeks on July 28th and
December 28th.]
Saint Nicanor, one of the first seven deacons appointed by the Apostles,
was a native of Cyprus, to which he returned, that he might preach the
Gospel on the dispersion of the Apostles. He was variously tortured and
then executed, in the reign of Vespasian, but where is not known.
