Orops of Sirmium

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

Orops and Or, natives of Egypt, witnessed the killing of Bishop Irenaeus at Sirmium and had the boldness to call the attention of the official present at the tortures; for this they too were seized and tormented. They were thrown into fire, but a rain coming unexpectedly put it out. They were then given to wild beasts, which spared them. The governor, before the panic that arose, ordered their heads cut off, and their bodies were thrown into the river Sava, after the holy relics of Bishop Irenaeus.

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