Martyrs Diodorus and Didymus of Laodicea

The holy martyrs were from Laodicea in Syria. Confessing the faith of Christ, they converted pagans and baptized many of them. For this, they were brought before the governor of Laodicea for trial, where they boldly confessed Christ. They were subjected to terrible tortures, but they did not renounce Him, rebuking the idolatrous deceit and reproaching the governor for worshiping false gods. With prayer on their lips, they surrendered their souls to the Lord amidst their sufferings.
