Zebinas of Caesarea in Palestine

Holy Martyr Zebinas of Caesarea in Palestine suffered in the year 308, at Caesarea in Palestine, in the persecution begun by the order of Maximinus Daia, together with Antoninus, Germanus, Nicephorus and Ennathas.

Seeing the governor of the city, Firmilian, offering sacrifices to idols, Antoninus, Zebinas and Germanus rushed to him, urging him to worship no one except the one God, Creator of the universe. The governor demanded that they tell their names, then condemned them to death without even torturing them. That day they were accompanied by a maiden of Scythopolis named Ennathas. She was brought by force to the judge, beaten and cruelly insulted by soldiers, led naked through the city and then burned alive. The tyrant extended his cruelty so far as to forbid the burial of the bodies of the saints.

Saint Zebinas is commemorated on 26 November, in the new style, together with the others.
