In hagiography: Bassus and his twin sister Suzanna were twin children of a Zoroastrian governor. They were informed about Christianity by a Christian slave. They were baptized by an ascetic named Longinus. They were killed by their father. A martyr named Stephen is also commemorated with them. At least one monastery commemorating Mar Bassus was founded near Apamea.
