Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Synaxarion of the Holy Martyrs Nestor and Tribimios

Sts. Nestor and Tribimios (Feast Day - March 2)

Verses

The neck of Nestor was struck by the sword, 
A similar wound crushed Tribimios.

These Saints were from the land of the Cibyrrhaeots, from Perge in Pamphylia. During the reign of Emperor Decius, in the year 251, they were betrayed by the idolaters, and scourged with dry ox-hide. After this they were suspended, and were flayed to the point where their inwards parts were exposed. Because they remained steadfast in the faith of Christ, they were beheaded, and in this way the renowned ones received the crown of martyrdom.
