Life

The Four Martyrs of Perge in Pamphylia suffered by being forced to run into fire. Their names are not preserved. They are commemorated on 31 August, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). Saint Nikodemos the Hagiorite notes in his Synaxaristes that the couplet dedicated to them speaks of demons being defeated, while the synaxarion of the Dionysiou Monastery has a different reading.
