Οἱ Ἅγιοι αὐτοὶ Πατέρες ἀσκήτευαν στὴ Λαύρα τοῦ Ἁγίου Σάββα, στὴν περιοχὴ τῶν Ἱεροσολύμων καὶ εἶχαν συγκεντρωθεῖ ἐκεῖ ἀπὸ διάφορα μέρη. Ὅμως Ἄραβες λῃστὲς ἐπιτέθηκαν κατὰ τῆς μονῆς καὶ συνέλαβαν τοὺς Πατέρες αὐτῆς, ποὺ δὲν μπόρεσαν ἢ δὲν θέλησαν νὰ φύγουν. Καὶ ἀφοῦ τοὺς βασάνισαν μὲ διάφορους τρόπους, γιὰ νὰ ὑποδείξουν στοὺς λῃστὲς τοὺς κρυμμένους θησαυροὺς τῆς μονῆς, τοὺς θανάτωσαν. Ἄλλους τούς ἀποκεφάλισαν, ἄλλους τοὺς τεμάχισαν καὶ ἄλλους τοὺς κατατρύπησαν μὲ τὰ ξίφη τους. Καὶ μὲ αὐτὸν τὸν τρόπο, εὐχαριστώντας τὸν Θεὸ καὶ προσευχόμενοι, παρέδωσαν οἱ Ἅγιοι τὶς μακάριες ψυχές τους στὸν Κύριο, ἀπολαμβάνοντας τὴν αἰώνια ζωὴ τῆς Βασιλείας τῶν Οὐρανῶν, γιὰ τὴν ὁποία ὑπέμειναν πρόθυμα τοὺς μακροὺς ἀγῶνες τῆς ἀσκήσεως καὶ τὸ μαρτύριο τῆς ἐπίπονης ἀθλήσεως.If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
