These holy Martyrs were Romans of high rank in the service of the Emperor
Maximian, to whom it was reported that they did not take part in the festivals
of the idols. When he called them into his presence, they confessed their Faith
in the one God. He had them arrayed in women’s clothes and paraded through the
streets in mockery. They were afterwards scourged, from which Saint Bacchus
died. This was about the year 296. Saint Sergius was then taken to Resapha in
Syria, where he was tortured and beheaded. His tomb in Resapha became a very
famous shrine, to which pilgrims came from as far away a Western Europe;
Resapha was later renamed Sergiopolis in his honor.
The icon reproductions are created by iconographer monks of various Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece and all images are approved replications by the Greek Orthodox Church. As icons are considered to be the Gospel in image, these images are accurate and true Orthodox renderings, not second-hand interpretations. The icon images are mounted on solid wood and protected from tarnish with a varnish finish that seals in colors and creates a shiny luster.
