Feast Day: April 28th
The Life of The Nine Holy Martyrs of Cyzicus: The Nine came from many different places and were of different ages… They held many different positions in society, including being soldiers, countryfolk, city people, and Clergy. They all, however, declared their Faith in Christ, and Prayed for the propagation of Christianity throughout the countryside. These Saints boldly Confessed Christ and fearlessly denounced the pagan impiety… Through the years from 286 to 299 all Nine Martyrs were beheaded by the sword…
