The Martyrs Zoticus, Dasius, and Gaius of Nicomedia


Commemorated on October 21

The Martyrs Zoticus, Dasius, and Gaius of Nicomedia suffered martyrdom in the year 303, under the emperor Diocletian (284-305) because they destroyed a pagan temple. After enduring many tortures, stones were tied around their necks, and they were drowned in the sea.
