Life
All were tortured in the time of Emperor Diocletian. They were pagans until they beheld the torments of the Holy Great-Martyr George. But seeing those torments, and the courage of this glorious martyr, and the many miracles that appeared at that time, they accepted the Christian faith, for which they soon suffered, and were crowned with glory.
