This Thursday March 8 is the 'Second Thursday' of the Great Lent(sawme rabo/valiya nombu) according to the liturgical calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church. Today we commemorate the The Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. In c. 320AD, forty Christian soldiers in the Roman 'Thundering legion' became martyrs at Sebastia on the banks of River Kizil in Lesser Armenia (today in Central Turkey). During the persecution unleashed by the Emperor Licinius on Christians, the Governor Agricolaus commanded soldiers to worship idols. Having disobeyed the command, the soldiers were tortured & imprisoned. Subsequently, they were martyred by being left naked on the ice of a frozen pond, with baths of hot water on the banks as a temptation to renounce their faith. One of them succumbed to the temptation & his place was taken by a heathen soldier of the guard, who confessed his faith. Their bodies were stacked together on a pyre and burnt to ashes. Their ashes were recovered by Empress Pulcheria. Their martyrdom is narrated by St. Basil of Caesaria, St. Gregory of Nyssa and in works attributed to St. Ephrem the Syrian. Veneration of the martyrs & hymns in remembrance are found in the Syriac phanqitho. There names are also found. The church of the Holy 40 Martyrs in Mardin is one of the oldest Syriac Orthodox Churches dedicated to their memory. During the prayers, 40 genuflections are made in their honour. Syriac families have a tradition of handing out "Rozune" or blessed bread following prayers. Each member of a family is given a piece. Inside one of the Rozune is money. The one who has money in theirs is said to be particularly blessed for the year & and their crops/business will be successful. Tradition of Rozune courtesy of: Ranya Kucukkaplan.
