Страдание святого мученика Калуфа египтянина

The holy martyr of Christ Kaluf suffered during the reign of Maximian 3306. He was from the Egyptian city of Thebes 3307 and for confessing his faith in Christ he was captured and handed over to the hegemon. The latter ordered a large stone to be tied around his neck and hung upside down, after which the executioners began to beat him, but the holy martyr said to them: “I wish for the bliss of the future life and for this I patiently endure beatings and suffering. After such torture, they removed the saint from the tree and began to force him to sacrifice to idols, but he refused to do so. Then he was thrown into the fire, where he accepted the end of his temporary life. Here, of course, is Maximian Herculus, co-ruler of Diocletian, who ruled Italy and Africa with the title of Augustus from 284 to 305. The city of Thebes was located in upper Egypt and was located on both banks of the Nile River. You might be interested in:
