150 Soldier Martyrs

The 150 Soldier Martyrs are commemorated on 19 November (new style, the Greek calendar). According to the synaxarion they came to believe in Christ through Saint Azes the Wonderworker, commemorated on the same day, and they received martyrdom by the sword.

A verse speaks of three fifties, cut down, whom Christ crowns with a threefold crown. On the same day the Twelve Soldier Martyrs are also commemorated, who died likewise by the sword, perhaps in the time of the 150. Their names, place and year are not preserved.
