Saint Eusebius lived in Phoenicia and was a secret follower of Christ. During the period of persecution against Christians, driven by Divine zeal, he came to the governor of the city and reproached him for persecuting the believers. For this, he was subjected to cruel tortures, including being scraped and poured with vinegar and salt, but he bore the sufferings with courage, rejoicing that he was suffering for the faith of Christ. In the end, he was beheaded and received the crown of glory from the Lord.
Saint Priscus confessed the name of Christ in Phrygia and brought many pagans to Christ. He was also captured and subjected to torture: he was hanged and scraped with iron claws until his body was wounded. Some of those present, seeing his sufferings, became enraged and beheaded him. Thus, he suffered for witnessing to Jesus Christ and now confesses Christ before the Heavenly Father.
Glory to God forever and ever. Amen.
