Страдание святого мученика Серапиона и с ним Каллиника, Феодора и Фавста

The Holy Martyr of Christ Serapion was from Egypt. At the time when Saint Meletios was performing his martyrdom, he came from Egypt and, seeing those who were subjected to torture with him, he believed in Christ. For this he was captured and thrown into prison, where an Angel of God appointed him a bishop to instruct those who had a desire to suffer for Christ. On this day, the relatives of Saint Meletius, the comites and soldiers, gathered together and said in a loud voice that they too were Christians, which aroused the anger of the ruler. Bishop Serapion and the sorcerer Callinicus, who believed in Christ, had their heads cut off with a sword, Theodore and Faustus with many others were burned, and the executioners chopped up women and children with wooden swords. Thus the holy martyrs gave up their souls into the hands of the Lord. You might be interested in:
