Страдание святых мучеников Евсевия, Неона, Леонтия, Лонгина и прочих с ними

Soon after the death of the glorious Great Martyr George, Emperor Diocletian issued an order to force all Christians, wherever they were, and especially those who were in prison, to worship idols; He ordered those who fulfilled this order to be released, but those who did not obey were ordered to be put to death. The holy martyrs now remembered - Eusebius, Neon, Leontius and Longinus - were in prison at that time 2745; With them were many Christians, numbering about forty people. Seeing the miracles performed by Saint George, they believed in Christ and boldly confessed Him publicly, for which they were taken and imprisoned in chains. When they were brought out of prison to be tested before the judge, they did not reject Christ, but disgraced the pagan gods. For their courageous confession of the name of Christ, they were given over to many torments, namely: the torturers, having hanged them, beat them and whittled their bodies with various iron tools until their insides were exposed. Finally, the holy martyrs were beheaded and thus received crowns in the Kingdom of Heaven 2746.
