10. Juli: Gedenken an die 45 Heiligen Märtyrer in Nikopolis, Armenienübersetzt

10. Juli 2026 · 1 Min. Lesezeit

Heute ehrt die Kirche die Erinnerung an die heiligen 45 Märtyrer in Nikopolis (Armenien), die im 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. während der Verfolgungen den Märtyrertod erlitten. Unter ihnen stachen Leontios, Maurikios, Daniel und Antonios hervor, die die ersten Positionen in der Stadt innehatten. Die Heiligen 45 Märtyrer starben in Nikopolis, Armenien, und unter ihnen waren die Präfekten der Stadt, Daniel, Maurice, Antonius und Leontius.

Als Kaiser Licinius im Jahr 315 n. Chr. ein Dekret gegen die Christen erließ, gingen diese 45 Heiligen allein zum Herzog und offenbarten, dass sie Christen seien. Auf die Frage von Lysias, der sie davon überzeugte, den Göttern nicht zu opfern, antworteten sie: „Christus ist derjenige, der uns gelehrt und überzeugt hat, nicht existierende Götter und ihre Götzen nicht anzubeten.“ Wütend befahl der Herzog, sie mit Handschellen zu fesseln und einzusperren, ohne ihnen Brot oder Wasser zu geben. Die Heiligen verbrachten die Nacht im Gebet. Unter anderem sagten sie: „Wir segnen dich, Herr, den König der Herrlichkeit. Denn du bist das wahre Leben, das für uns Sünder geopfert wurde, der Sohn des wahren Gottes. Vereinige uns, Herr, damit alle mit einer Seele...

Овие 45-те маченици од Никополис покажаа вистинска храброст – сами отишле кај кнезот и се пријавиле дека се христијани. Особено ми се допадна како Леонтиј, Маврикиј, Даниил и Антониј, кои биле први луѓе во градот, не се сокриле туку ја исповедале верата. Дај Господ и ние да имаме таква сила кога треба.

Αντώνης Κωνσταντίνου

Αυτοί οι 45 Μάρτυρες δεν περίμεναν να τους πιάσουν, πήγαν μόνοι τους και δήλωσαν ότι είναι χριστιανοί. Μου έκανε εντύπωση που οι πρώτοι της πόλης, ο Λεόντιος, ο Μαυρίκιος, ο Δανιήλ και ο Αντώνιος, δεν κρύφτηκαν καθόλου. Να μας δίνει ο Κύριος λίγη από την ίδια τόλμη, έστω στις μικρές καθημερινές στιγμές.

Тия 45-те мъченици от Никопол не са чакали да ги хванат, ами сами отишли при управителя и си признали, че са християни. Особено ми направи впечатление как Леонтий, Маврикий, Даниил и Антоний – първите хора в града – не се скрили, а изповядали вярата. Дай, Боже, и на нас поне малко от тая смелост в ежедневните неща.

Samuel Mitchell

These 45 martyrs from Nicopolis really stood out to me—the way Leontius, Maurice, Daniel, and Anthony, the leading men of the city, didn’t hide but walked straight to the duke and confessed Christ in 315. Their answer about worshiping the true God instead of lifeless idols hits home. Lord, give us some of that courage even in small everyday things.

Eleni Prifti

Këta 45 martirë nga Nikopoli më prekën sidomos kur thanë se vetë Krishti i mësoi të mos adhuronin idhuj të vdekur. Edhe Leontiu, Maurikiu, Danieli e Antoni, që ishin të parët e qytetit, nuk u fshehën fare, por shkuan vetë te duka. Na jep, Zot, pak nga ajo guxim, qoftë edhe për gjërat e vogla të përditshme.

Кирил, точно това ме впечатли и мен – че първенците на града не се скрили, а сами отишли да се изповядат. В нашето ежедневие често се колебаем дори за дребни неща, като да кажеш „не“ на някоя неправда на работа. Дай Боже наистина да имаме поне искрица от тяхната смелост.

Their boldness in just walking in and owning their faith really struck me too, especially since they were the city’s leading men who had everything to lose. That line about Christ teaching them to skip the fake gods and idols feels like it could apply to half the distractions we chase today. Samuel, have you come across any other early martyrs who did something similar?

Xenia Parker

Their answer to the duke about Christ teaching them to skip the idols really stuck with me too, Samuel. It makes me think of the little compromises we make at work or online without even noticing. Have you come across any story from the youth group kids that reminded you of this kind of quiet courage?

Matthew Carter

Their answer about Christ teaching them hit me the same way. I keep thinking how easy it is to just scroll past something dodgy at work instead of speaking up. The youth group kids haven't shared anything quite like that yet, but last week one lad mentioned turning down a dodgy betting tip from his mates – small thing, but it felt like the same spirit. Have you noticed any of those quiet stands in your own day-to-day?

Sophia Johnson

Their boldness really stands out, especially as city leaders who could've stayed quiet. That answer they gave Lysias about Christ teaching them to skip the fake gods hits home—reminds me how easy it is to chase work stress or endless scrolling instead. Grace, which part of their story do you find yourself coming back to most?

Michael Turner

Their boldness as city leaders who could've just kept quiet really hits me too. That line about Christ teaching them to skip the fake gods sticks with me every time — makes me think how I let little stuff like overtime at the shop or checking the phone pull me away. What about you, Sophia, does any one of those four guys stand out more than the rest?

Petro Nako

Po, Eleni, më pëlqeu që the për atë guximin e tyre të hapur. Edhe unë mendoj se Leontiu, Maurikiu, Danieli dhe Antoni nuk u fshehën fare, megjithëse ishin të parët e qytetit. Na duhet pak nga ai kurajë edhe për gjërat e vogla, siç thua ti, sidomos kur vjen puna të flasim për besimin në lagje apo në familje.
