    Akindynos and companions

    November 2, Martyr, Ακίνδυνος

    The holy martyrs Akindynos, Pegasios, Aphthonios, Elpidophoros, and Anempodistos were Christians of Persia who suffered in the fourth century, during a fierce persecution of the Church in that land. Refusing to deny Christ, they endured many torments and were put to death, and their steadfastness drew others to the faith.
