Verses
The eight numbered chorus died by the sword,
The eight thus finding eternal life.
The eight thus finding eternal life.
We do not know details of the lives and contests of these Holy Martyrs, except that in Nicaea of Bithynia they were beheaded by the sword for confessing their faith in Christ.
