Память святых мучеников Виктора, Зотика, Зинона, Акиндина и Севериана

At a time when the wicked emperor Diocletian 2626 launched a cruel persecution against Christians, Saint George was captured and tortured without mercy. During his torment, by the power of God, Saint George performed wondrous miracles, seeing which many of the pagans believed in Christ. But those who believed were immediately subjected to torture at the hands of the wicked, some of them were sent to prison, others were burned with fire, and others were beheaded with the sword. From among such were these holy martyrs: Victor, Zotik, Zinon, Akindinus and Severian. They, seeing Saint George tied to a wheel (which was supposed to torment his body) and not suffering any harm from it, believed in our Lord Jesus Christ, for which the tormentors immediately cut off their heads 2627. Emperor Diocletian ruled the Roman Empire from 284 to 305. The death of the holy martyrs followed in 303. You might be interested in:
