Holy Ten Martyrs of Egypt

Holy Ten Martyrs of Egypt (Feast Day - June 5)

Verses

The ten martyrs hungered and thirsted,
God gave them delicacies without satiety.

Saints Markianos, Nikandros, Apollonos, Leonidas, Arios, Gorgios, Hyperechios, Seleniada, Irene, and Pambo, were ten martyrs in Egypt, probably in the persecution of Galerius (305-311). Having confessed Christ as the true God, they were placed by a ruler of Alexandria in a sort of closed off area, naked and exposed to the elements. In this way they suffered from extreme hunger, thirst and cold during the winter. Meanwhile, the soldiers who guarded them were eating and drinking within their view by a fire. After suffering like this for many days, while ceaselessly praying to the Lord, they finally delivered their souls into the hands of God, and gained the crown of the contest.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
