Twenty Thousand Martyrs of Ohrid

The Twenty Thousand Martyrs of Ohrid are commemorated together in the calendar of the Orthodox Church of North Macedonia on 2 June in the old style, which is 15 June in the new, on the same day as the hieromartyr Erasmus of Ohrid.

The only source at hand is the church calendar, which gives the name and the day but does not tell the circumstances or the time in which this multitude received the crown of martyrdom. For that reason we can say no more than that the Church of North Macedonia honours them as one company of confessors of Christ.
