On this day, October 21 according to the Julian Calendar (November 3 civil calendar), the Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Martyrs Dasius, Gaius, and Zoticus.

During the reign of the emperor Diocletian (284–305), in the year 303, the holy martyrs Dasius, Gaius, and Zoticus were put to death for destroying a pagan temple. After torturing the saints, the lawless ones drowned them in the sea.
