Fifteen Martyrs of Tiberiopolis

The Fifteen Martyrs of Tiberiopolis are fifteen martyrs honoured together, who suffered at Tiberiopolis, today Strumica, in North Macedonia. The Greek synaxarion says that they were two bishops (Timothy and Theodore), five priests, two deacons and six monks. The verses also mention the name Etimasius.

The verses honour them by groups: the priests first offered the pure sacrifice of the Liturgy, then offered themselves as sacrifice; the monks were cut down by the sword. They are honoured in Macedonia and, in Greece, are the patrons of the city of Kilkis. The sources consulted give no other data about their lives and time.
