Terentius of Syria

Holy Martyr Terentius of Syria is remembered together with Neonilla and their children: Sarvilus, Photus, Theodulus, Hierax, Nitus, Vilus and Eunice. All of them suffered at the hands of the persecutors of Christians in the time of Decius (249-251).

They confessed Christ with zeal and condemned the worship of idols. For this the pagans subjected the whole Christian family to terrible torments, but did not succeed in making them renounce the true faith. The holy martyrs were beheaded. They are commemorated on 10 November, in the new style.
