Thyrsos and companions
December 14, Martyr, Θύρσος
The holy martyrs Thyrsos, Leucius, and Callinicus suffered for Christ in Asia Minor in the third century, during the Roman persecutions. Refusing to offer sacrifice to the idols, they endured torments with steadfast faith and were put to death, their endurance drawing others to confess Christ.
