Life
The Martyrs Burned in the Church at Carthage were Orthodox Christians of the fifth century. The Greek synaxarion says they were burned alive by Arians at Carthage while they were gathered in the church and praying.
Their names and number have not been kept. They are commemorated on 7 December, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece, on the day when the other African martyrs of the Vandal persecution are honoured.
