Martyrs Eusebius, Neon, Leontius, Longinus and Others (303)

The holy Martyrs Eusebius, Neon, Leontius, Longinus and others (+303) were present at the martyrdom of Saint George. The Great Martyr’s unshakeable faith kindled in them hope in God: the saints believed and openly confessed Christ, for which they were thrown into prison.

After the execution of Saint George, Diocletian issued an order that all the prisoners must offer sacrifice to the idols. When they refused, the blessed martyrs were first beaten with iron rods and then beheaded.
