The saint behind the name
Probus and Tarachos
October 12, Martyr, Πρόβος
Saints Probus and Tarachos, together with Andronicus, were Christians of Cilicia who suffered during the persecution under Diocletian at the beginning of the fourth century. Differing in age and station, they were united in their confession; brought repeatedly before the judges, they endured prolonged tortures with astonishing endurance and were finally put to death for Christ.
