Страдание святых мучеников Симеона, Исаака и Вахтисия

The holy martyrs of Christ Simeon, Isaac and Vakhtisius came from Persia and suffered during the reign of the wicked king Sapor 3294. Since they were Christians, the idolaters seized them for this and began to force them to renounce Christ and worship the sun and fire 3295, but in response to this they said: – We will not renounce the Creator of creation and we will not worship the sun and fire. Then the torturers tied their hands and feet and beat them severely, and then threw them into prison, where they did not eat food for seven days. After this, they were taken out of prison and endured various torments; finally, their honest heads were cut off with a sword. This is how the holy martyrs died. Sapor II the Great reigned in Persia from 310 to 381. Known for his successful wars with the Romans; was a cruel persecutor of Christians. The Persians revered Mithra, or the sun, as their supreme god. They also worshiped fire. You might be interested in:
