Life

The Martyrs of the Crimea are a group of seven bishops tortured for their faith in the Crimea. Their names are Aetherius, Agathodorus, Basil, Elpidius, Ephraim, Eugene and Capito. They are remembered together on 4 March.

The source says nothing else about them. They are honoured as saints of the Church.
