United In Prayer - Commemoration of the 40 Holy Martyrs of Sebaste

And in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slaughtered on earth (Revelation 18:24)

Let us honor those noble soldiers of the Master of all, for they were united by their faith as they passed through fire and water; and being enlisted by Christ, they entered into divine refreshment. Now those pious warriors stand and intercede with Christ God for those who cry out: “Glory to Him Who strengthened you. Glory to Him Who crowned you. Glory to Him Who made you wondrous, O Forty Martyrs” (Troparion of the 40 Holy Martyrs of Sebaste from the Orthodox Church).
