The 153 Martyrs of Thrace are remembered on 27 July. The synaxarion says that they suffered by drowning in the sea. Their verse compares them with the 153 fish caught in the Sea of Tiberias, which equal them in number. Their names, the year and the details of their martyrdom are not preserved in our sources.
