Varus, and with him six monk-martyrs (Menologion of Basil II).jpg

Saint Varus (died ca. 307, Alexandria, Egypt) — early Christian saint, soldier and martyr.

According to his generally reliable and authentic Acts, he was a soldier stationed in Upper Egypt who had the task of guarding a group of monks awaiting execution. When one of the monks died while incarcerated, Varus embraced the Christian faith and asked to be able to fill the place of the deceased. He was taken and hanged from a tree.
