Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the nine Cyzic martyrs: Theognis, Rufus, Antipater, Theostichus, Artema, Magnus, Theodotos, Fawmasios and Philemon.
In the 3rd century, the city of Kyzyk in Asia Minor was completely pagan, and in the entire city there were only nine people who decided to openly preach Christianity. For this they were arrested and executed, but the spread of Christianity continued, and after a hundred years, the remains of the martyrs, buried outside the city, were transferred to the temple.
Among the people, the Day of Remembrance of the Nine Martyrs of Kiziches is called the Nine Healers.
Traditions and rituals
On this day, the ancestors prayed to the saints from Cyzicus, asked to save them from physical ailments, turned to healers, collected herbs and prepared healing infusions.
