Martyr Azades (Azat) the Eunuch of Persia with 1000 other Christian Martyrs
Saint Azades (Azat) was a wealthy man who served in the
household of King Shapur II of Persia, and enjoyed his confidence. He
was arrested for professing Christianity, and then suffered martyrdom
with 1000 other Christians. After this, the king repented and ordered an
end to the persecution of Christians.
