Tomorrow, December 23, in the Orthodox calendar the day of remembrance of the holy 10 Martyrs of Crete. This is a group of early Christian martyrs who suffered for their faith in Christ in the 3rd century on the island of Crete. The holy martyrs suffered during the reign of Emperor Decius (249–251), who was noted for his cruel persecution of Christians. The local ruler of Crete tried to force them to renounce their faith, but they steadfastly refused to worship the pagan gods. After numerous tortures, they were sentenced to death by beheading. Their deaths inspired many Christians of that time to strengthen their faith.
