Commemorated on January 22
These holy martyrs of Christ were of 377 Christians who were captured
in Thrace by the Bulgars, and who were slain in various ways.
TROPARION - TONE 4
Your holy martyrs, 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!

cross of each person, called also the Cross of Christ?
