Holy Martyrs Anthimos, Thallelaios, Christopher, Euphemia with their Children and the Holy Martyr Pancharios


Verses

For November 19.

Receive five athletes O Christ and give,
Five crowns, as a prize for the contest.

For November 22.

To Christopher and Euphemia.
Together with Euphemia you are praised,
Having been slaughtered together Christ-minded Christopher.

To Thallelaios and Anthimos.
Thallelaios and Anthimos were decapitated,
Blossoming evergreens as divine wood.

On November 19th the Holy Martyrs Anthimos, Thallelaios, Christopher, Euphemia with their Children and the Holy Martyr Pancharios are commemorated together, and nothing else is said about them.

On November 22nd the Holy Martyrs Christopher, Euphemia, Thallelaios and Anthimos are commemorated, who met their end by the sword. They are probably the same as those commemorated on November 19th.
