In the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox tradition, a hieromartyr is a martyr (one who dies for his beliefs) who was a bishop or priest. Analogously, a monk who is a priest is known as a hieromonk.
The difference between a hieromartyr and a martyr is that the former is also an ordained clergyman. Hieromartyrs do not constitute a special rank of saint and are commemorated at the Divine Liturgy together with other martyrs. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, at the proskomedia, for them, as for other martyrs, the fifth particle is removed from the nine-part prosphora.
