MARTYRS OF PERSIA
Today, we also commemorate The Martyrs of Persia. The Roman Martyrology states:
"In Persia, in the time of king Sapor, the holy martyr Ia and her companions, who, with nine thousand Christian captives, underwent martyrdom after having been subjected to various torments."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of The Martyrs of Persia 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.
