They all hold a cross in the right hands – the symbol of martyrdom and in the left hand – suffering crown. Above the medallion - the name of the martyr in Greek. Died in 320, at the lake near the city of Sebaste (now Istanbul, Turkey).The Roman commander Agricola ordered his 40 Christian solders to offer sacrifice to pagan gods. After refusal they were tortured – they got frozen in iced water. |
