37 HOLY MARTYRS OF THRACE
Today, we also commemorate The 37 Holy Martyrs of Thrace. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Thrace, in the time of the governor Apellian, thirty-seven holy martyrs, who had their hands and feet cut off for the faith of Christ, and were cast into a burning furnace."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of The 37 Holy Martyrs of Thrace may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
