Память святых мучеников Исакия, Аполлоса и Кодрата

Initially, these saints were servants of the Emperor Diocletian 2692. Seeing the miracles of the Holy Great Martyr George, they, following the example of Queen Alexandra, who left earthly glory and turned to Christ, also turned to the Lord. The holy martyrs boldly denounced the king for his wickedness and hardness of heart, pointing out that he did not even spare his wife, who bore him a child. By order of the wicked emperor, these holy martyrs were initially imprisoned, where they languished with hunger and thirst, and then were beheaded with the sword for confessing Christ 2693. On the same day, the memory of our holy father Maximian, Patriarch of Constantinople, who ruled the Church during the reign of Theodosius the Younger for two and a half years and reposed in peace in 431, on April 12. The Roman Emperor Diocletian, a cruel persecutor of Christianity, reigned from 284 to 305. The death of the holy martyrs followed in 303. You might be interested in:
