On November 15, the Orthodox calendar honors Saints Gurias, Abibas, and Samonas, martyrs known for their unwavering faith during the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. Gurias and Samonas endured severe trials before their beheading, while Abibas, a deacon from Edessa, was martyred for his passionate preaching against idolatry. His efforts to convert pagans led to his gruesome death at the hands of ruler Lysanias. Their legacies reflect profound commitment to Christianity amidst adversity.
