Holy Martyrs
Victor, Zoticus, Zinon, Acindynus and Severianus
Five martyrs commemorated together in the Orthodox calendar.
Life
Holy Martyrs Victor, Zoticus, Zinon, Acindynus and Severianus were tortured in the time of the Emperor Diocletian. They were pagans until they saw the sufferings of the holy Great Martyr George. Seeing George's courage and the many miracles that appeared then, they accepted Christianity, for which they soon suffered. The Serbian Church commemorates them on 18 April by the old calendar (1 May by the new).
