Страдание святых мучеников Нестора и Тривимия

Saints Nestor and Trivimius lived during the reign of the wicked Decius 1690 and were from the city of Perga 1691. Being Christians, they fearlessly preached about Christ, and for this the pagans denounced them to the ruler of the region. The latter immediately sent a large detachment of soldiers with orders to tie them up and bring them to him for trial. When the holy martyrs were presented for trial, the governor, in order to frighten them, ordered all the instruments of torment to be laid out before them, but they, seeing this threat, began to preach about Christ in a loud voice. Then the ruler ordered them to be stripped and beaten without mercy with dry ox sinews, after which they were hung on a tree and their bodies were whittled until their insides were exposed. Finally convinced that the saints were unshakable in their faith in Christ our God, the ruler ordered the executioners to take them down from the tree and cut off their heads with knives. Thanks to the Lord, the holy martyrs died, and Christ God accepted them into His Kingdom. The Roman Emperor Decius reigned from 249 to 251 and was a cruel persecutor of Christians. The city of Pergia was located in the Asia Minor region of Pamphylia, located in the southern part of Asia Minor on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. You might be interested in:
