Saint Victor of Mesukevi was one of the martyrs who suffered and died alongside Saint Suchias in Georgia during the second century.
Saint Suchias and his sixteen companions were noble men living at the court of the Albanian ruler. They embraced Christianity and followed the priest Chrysos. They were baptised in the waters of Euphrates and received new names. Following the martyrdom of their spiritual guide, Suchias assumed his role, leading the brotherhood in a life of asceticism and spiritual enlightenment.
When the pagan ruler of Albania, Datianus, learned of their steadfast faith, he attempted to convert them to paganism. However, they remained unwavering. As a result, they endured horrific tortures. They were crucified and thrown into the fire, while their bodies were dismembered and scattered across Mount Sukaketi. Their martyrdom took place in 123 AD.
The holy relics of the martyrs remained incorrupt until the fourth century, when they were buried by local Christians. A church was erected at the site of their martyrdom, while a healing spring was also discovered there.
