Holy Martyrs Anthony, John, and Eustathius

Life

All three were at first pagans and worshippers of fire. They were servants at the court of the Lithuanian Prince Olgerd in Vilna. They were formerly named: Kruglec, Kumec, and Nezhilo. All three were baptized by the priest Nestor. All three were hanged, one after another, on one and the same oak tree, in the year 1347. That oak tree the Christians cut down and built a church in honor of the Holy Trinity, in which they placed the honorable relics of the martyrs, and upon the stump of the oak they fashioned the holy altar table. Their relics are in Vilna.
