Память святых мучеников Романа, Иакова, Филофея, Иперихия, Авива, Иулиана и Паригория

All these holy martyrs, fighting for Christ, publicly exposed pagan errors, for which they were subjected to cruel torture: their shoulders and knees were broken; then they were mercilessly whittled, heavy iron shackles were put on their necks and they were thrown into prison; then they took them out of prison again, again planed their bodies, hanged them and nailed their heads to the cross. In such torment they gave up their souls to God 1056. They suffered in 297 under Emperor Diocletian in the city of Samosataha (in Syria, on the Euphrates River). You might be interested in:
