Martyr

A martyr of Egypt, put to death for his faith in Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Arius of Egypt is counted among ten martyrs native to Egypt: Marcian, Nicander, Hyperechius, Apollo, Leonides, Arius, Gorgius, Selinius, Irenaeus and Pambo. They suffered in the time of Emperor Maximian (305-311) for their firm confession of faith in Christ.
They were subjected to cruel scourging, and then, barely alive, were thrown into prison. There an angel appeared to them and healed their wounds. The wonder persuaded many pagans to turn to Christ. The holy martyrs died in prison of hunger and thirst. They are commemorated together on 18 June.
