persecuted the Christians of the East.一方的士兵，他們遭到了殘酷的死刑，他們的信仰，近sebaste
，在較小的亞美尼亞，受害者的迫害李錫尼，誰後，今年316 ，迫害基督徒的東部地區。 The earliest account of their martyrdom
is given by St. Basil, Bishop of Caesarea (370-379), in a homily delivered on
the feast of the Forty Martyrs (Hom. xix in PG, XXXI, 507
sqq.).最早到他們的殉道是由於聖羅勒，主教caesarea （ 370-379 ） ，在講道中發表了對節日第四十四烈士（
hom.十九，在編號，三十一， 507 sqq ） 。
The feast is consequently more ancient

sixty years after martyrdom, which is thus historic beyond a
doubt.這個節日是因此更古老，比主教的羅勒，其悼詞對他們的宣判只有54或60年後，烈士的，這是歷史性的，因此毫無疑問的。
According to St. Basil, forty soldiers
who had openly confessed themselves Christians were condemned by the prefect to
be exposed naked upon a frozen pond near Sebaste on a bitterly cold night, that
they might freeze to
death.據聖羅勒，第四十二士兵曾公開交代了自己的基督信徒被譴責的，由紀將赤身裸體暴露後，冰凍的池塘附近sebaste一個寒風凜冽晚上，他們可能凍結死刑。
Among the confessors, one yielded and,
leaving his companions, sought the warm baths near the lake which had been
prepared for any who might prove
inconstant.各師，一屈服，並離開他的同伴，尋求溫暖浴池附近的湖泊，其中已準備為任何人如證明不一致。 One of the guards set to keep watch
over the martyrs beheld at this moment a supernatural brilliancy overshadowing
them and at once proclaimed himself a Christian, threw off his garments, and
placed himself beside the thirty-nine soldiers of
Christ.其中一個看守設置監視烈士們看到在這一刻神靈光芒掩蓋他們立刻宣布自己是一個基督徒，義無返顧地脫下衣服，並放在自己的旁邊39士兵的喊聲。

the confessors, which still showed signs of life, were burned and the ashes cast
into a river.在拂曉，加筋機構的師，它仍然顯示生命跡象，被燒毀和骨灰鑄造成一條河。 The Christians, however, collected the

numerous churches were erected in their
honour.基督徒，不過，收集了珍貴的仍是和遺跡已被分發給全國各地許多城市，在這樣敬仰支付給第四十五烈士成了普遍，許多教堂被豎立在自己的榮譽。

homily.他們一個是建在caesarea ，在Cappadocia的，而正是在這個教堂，聖羅勒，公開發表了他的講道。 St. Gregory of Nyssa was a special
client of these holy martyrs.聖格雷戈里的nyssa是一種特殊的客戶，這些神聖的殉道者。 Two discourses in praise of them,
preached by him in the church dedicated to them, are still preserved (PG, XLVI,

beside the relics of the confessors.兩個話語歌頌他們，宣揚他在教堂專門對他們來說，仍保留公司（ PG
