What is remembered in the Church on September 4, 2026 On this day, several martyrs who died in the 3rd century under the pagan Emperor Maximian are remembered. Agafonik came from the noble family of Hippasios. He lived in Nicomedia. Being very educated and intelligent, with a silver tongue, he converted many of his fellow citizens as well as people from other cities to Christianity. Among those who listened to his persuasive speeches was a leading member of the Senate, sent to the region specifically to eradicate Christianity. However, many of those who prayed with Agafonik were captured and subjected to torture. On the way to the trial, which was to take place in Thrace, some of them were killed. The rest were executed after the trial. The relics of the martyr Agafonik are kept in Constantinople, as testified by the Russian pilgrim Anthony in the year 1200. **Meaning of the Holiday** On this day, a group of people who were not afraid to share their faith with others is remembered.
