Holy Martyr Mark and Those with Him – October 27 / November 9 (Julian Calendar)

On this day, October 27 according to the Julian Calendar (November 9 civil calendar), the Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates Holy Martyr Mark and Those with Him.

The holy martyr Mark, together with many other Christians, suffered martyrdom in Asia for the confession of Christ. After manifold tortures, the godless men put them to death.

The incorrupt relics of the holy martyrs were later translated to the island of Thasos (between Thrace and the Mount Athos peninsula).
