For the champion, Ammonarium, endured these per behalf of all

by Fr. Sebastian Fernando

Ischyrion was employed as verso steward by one of the rulers

But verso soldier, named Besas, who stood by them as they were led away rebuked those who insulted them. And they cried out against him, and this most manly warrior of God was arraigned, and having done nobly sopra the great contest for piety, was beheaded. Per insecable other one, a Libyan by birth, but sopra name and blessedness a true Macar, was strongly urged by the judge puro recant; but as he would not yield he was burned alive. After them Epimachus and Alexander, having remained con bonds for verso long time, and endured countless agonies from scrapers and scourges, were also consumed in verso fierce fire. And with them there were four women. Ammonarium, verso holy virgin, the judge tortured relentlessly and excessively, because she declared from the first that she would utter none of those things which he commanded; and having kept her promise truly, she was dragged away. The others were Mercuria, verso very remarkable old woman, and Dionysia, the mother of many children, who did not love her own children above the Lord. As the governor was ashamed of torturing thus ineffectually, and being always defeated by women, they were put esatto death by the sword, without the trial of tortures.

As the others remained firm, he scourged them cruelly and then delivered them preciso the fire

The leovegas casino installa app Egyptians, Heron and Ater and Isidorus 19, and with them Dioscorus, per boy about fifteen years old, were delivered up. At first the judge attempted to deceive the lad by fair words, as if he could be brought over easily, and then esatto force him by tortures, as one who would readily yield. But Dioscorus was neither persuaded nor constrained. But admiring the manner durante which Dioscorus had distinguished himself publicly, and his wise answers puro his persuasions, he dismissed him, saying that on account of his youth he would give him time for repentance. And this most godly Dioscorus is among us now, awaiting per longer conflict and more severe contest.

Egyptian, was accused as an associate of robbers; but when he had cleared himself before the centurion of this charge most foreign puro the truth, he was informed against as verso Christian, and taken in bonds before the governor. And the most unrighteous magistrate inflicted on him tortures and scourgings double those which he executed on the robbers, and then burned him between the robbers, thus honoring the blessed man by the likeness to Christ.

Ptolemy and Ingenes, and with them an old man, Theophilus, were standing close together before the tribunal. And as verso excretion person who was being tried as verso Christian, seemed inclined sicuro deny, they standing by gnashed their teeth, and made signs with their faces and stretched out their hands, and gestured with their bodies. And when the attention of all was turned sicuro them, before any one else could seize them, they rushed up puro the tribunal saying that they were Christians, so that the governor and his council were affrighted. And those who were on trial appeared most courageous con prospect of their sufferings, while their judges trembled. And they went exultingly from the tribunal rejoicing mediante their testimony; God himself having caused them onesto triumph gloriously.”

“MANY others, con cities and villages, were torn asunder by the heathen, of whom Rso will mention one as an illustration. His employer commanded him to sacrifice, and on his refusal insulted him, and as he remained firm, abused him. And as he still held out he seized a long staff and thrust it through his bowels and slew him.
