Commemorated on January 29
The Holy Martyrs Romanus, James, Philotheus, Hyperichius, Habib, Julian
and Parigoreas suffered in the year 297, during the persecution by
Diocletian (284-305), in the city of Samosata (in Syria on the River
Euphrates). They bravely denounced the senseless worship of idols, for
which they were arrested and given over to various terrible tortures.
Their bodies were scraped with iron, heavy iron fetters were hung around
their necks, and they were locked up in prison. Finally, nails were
driven into their heads while they were suspended on crosses.
TROPARION - TONE 4
Your holy martyrs Romanus, James, Philotheus, Hyperichius, Habib, Julian and Parigoreas, O Lord, / Through their sufferings have received
an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they
laid low their adversaries, / And shattered the powerless boldness of
demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!
