120 Martyrs of Persia
The Holy 120 Martyrs suffered under the Persian emperor
Sapor. They were taken into captivity during the reign of the Byzantine
Emperor Constantios (337-361). They were consigned to the flames after
firmly confessing their faith (c.344-347). St Shandulios (November 3)
concealed their relics from desecration by the pagans. Among the holy
martyrs were ten virgins, who had dedicated themselves to the service of
God.
