Saint Efstratios
During the most cruel and merciless times of Christianity, there were a great many people who became martyrs and never refused their faith and love to God. At the time of the Diocletian persecutions (303-311 A.D.) many faithful Christians, despite their high rank in the Roman army, declared and died for their faith under very cruel torture. One of them, Efstratios, a highly ranked army officer was arrested, tortured and transferred to the province governor Agricolas, an atrocious and cruel man who enjoyed the torturing of the Christians. Saint Efstatios was burned alive after he was violently tortured. His Skull is housed in the Great Lavra Monastery of Mount Athos. A part of his relics, his hand, is housed in the Monastery Koutloumousiou of Mount Athos.
