| Holy Six Martyrs of Bizye (Feast Day - August 10) |
Verses
With broken bones and torn flesh,
The six athletes seized their wreaths.
The six athletes seized their wreaths.
The Holy Six Martyrs of Bizye* met their end by having their bones crushed and their flesh torn.
Notes:
* Bizye is the ancient Greek name for today's Vize, in the Marmara region of Turkey. Some sources say it should read Libya.
