Martyrdom
The synaxarion relates that the four men preached against idolatry to the crowds gathered at the circus, drawing many pagans away from their idols and to Christ. When the governor observed citizens abandoning the circus, he became alarmed and had the four summoned for interrogation.
Questioned by the governor, they remained steadfast and declared their Christian convictions. The accounts relate that they were first given over to wild beasts to be devoured, but the animals refused to harm them. They subsequently endured torture and were thrown into a fire, in which they died as martyrs for Christ.
