Or of Sirmium

Holy Martyr Or of Sirmium was an Egyptian who suffered around the year 304, together with the Holy Martyr Orops, at Sirmium, because he rebuked an official.

Or and Orops, natives of Egypt, were present at the killing of the Holy Hieromartyr Bishop Irenaeus at Sirmium. They had the courage to make a remark to the governor who was present at the tortures, and for this they were seized and subjected to torments too. They were thrown into fire, but the fire was put out by a rain that began suddenly. Then they were given to wild beasts to eat, but the beasts spared them. Panic arose, and the governor ordered them beheaded. Their bodies were thrown into the river Sava, after the holy relics of Saint Irenaeus.

Their memory is kept on 4 September, in the new style.
