Holy Martyrs Sergios & Vakhos - Aged Byzantine Icon
[Model: OLD_st350-125]
POPULAR
Commemorate on : October 7
These holy Martyrs were Romans of high rank in the service of the Emperor Maximian, to whom it was reported that they did not take part in the festivals of the idols. When he called them into his presence, they confessed their Faith in the one God. He had them arrayed in womens clothes and paraded through the streets in mockery. They were afterwards scourged, from which Saint Bacchus died. This was about the year 296. Saint Sergius was then taken to Resapha in Syria, where he was tortured and beheaded. His tomb in Resapha became a very famous shrine, to which pilgrims came from as far away a Western Europe; Resapha was later renamed Sergiopolis in his honour.
