Summary

Description

49 Martyrs with Callistratus

These holy martyrs suffered at Carthage with St Callistratus at the beginning of the fourth century.

St Callistratus was miraculously saved after his tormentors had tied him up in a sack and cast him into the sea. By God’s mercy, however, the sack struck a sharp rock and was torn open. St Callistratus came to dry land unharmed, carried by dolphins. Viewing such a miracle, forty-nine soldiers came to believe in Christ. Then the military commander threw St Callistratus and the believing soldiers into prison. Before this, all of them were subjected to innumerable floggings.
