Holy Martyrs Terentius and companions.
St. Terentios suffered for Christ in the early centuries of persecution together with his wife Neonilla and their children. Refusing to deny the faith in which they had raised their household, the whole family confessed Christ together and together received the crown of martyrdom.
They are honored as an image of the Christian family united in faith even unto death, parents and children strengthening one another in their confession. They are commemorated on October 28.
