Commemorated on October 15
The Holy
Martyrs Sarbelus and Bebaia of Edessa were brother and sister, suffering in the
second century under the emperor Trajan for confessing Christianity. St Sarbelus
was a priest of the idols at Edessa, but was converted to Christ by a certain
bishop, then he and his sister were baptized. Pagans tortured the saints for a
long while, and then beheaded them.
These saints are also commemorated
on January 29. St Sarbelus may be the same one who is commemorated on September
5.
