Life
The Holy Martyrs Elias and Probus, with Ares, were Egyptians by birth and suffered in Cilicia in the year 308, in the persecution of Maximian (305-313).
Heedless of their own safety, they cared for Christians locked up in prison during the persecution. For this they were arrested, tortured and put to death.
