Life
The Innumerable Martyrs of Saragossa were a very large multitude of Christians put to death at Saragossa in Spain in the persecution of Diocletian, around 304, by order of the prefect Dacian, who had been sent to Spain to enforce the decrees. They are saints of the undivided Church.
Dacian issued an edict exiling all the Orthodox from the city, and as they were leaving he ordered the soldiers to fall upon them and massacre them. Eighteen of them are commemorated separately, on 16 April.
They are commemorated on 3 November, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
