- The 28th of December commemorates the Christians killed in Nicomedia at the start of the 4th century. We take a look at why the Church has placed this event so close to Christmas.

Hey, I'm former protestant converting to Eastern Orthodoxy, and your videos have been very helpful to me for understanding orthodoxy and the history of the church, thank You.
Ditto!!!
Today is Epiphany for me and I've spent this afternoon going through all your Christmas videos again. I've found all your videos very helpful as I've returned to my endeavour to be faithful to God.
One day I hope the heresies of the Western Church will be resolved and we can all be united in the Great Church once more.
This is beautiful beyond words. The icon of the church on fire resembles the Ark.. and not by accident.. Thank you. The music is perfect.. The icons are perfect.
The explanation of why the Church includes such stories at this time will surely touch many hearts. Thank you.. The slaughter of the Innocents in Bethlehem must always sober our hearts for the same reasons. We rejoice that the Savior of the world has come to restore the image lost by Adam.. We are sobered that suffering has been part of that story from the beginning..Glory to God..☦☦
This is one of my favorite Orthodox Content Channels, period. Merry Christmas and Blessed Nativity! God is born!
Thank you, your channel is a blessing for all in the faith of orthodoxy, and for those that want to join. Thank you for reminding us what this holiday season is all about. ❤
Thank you for this beautiful message!
Martyrs of Nicomedia pray for us, 🙏🌺☦️🌺🙏
In a way, they're the thousands of lights in the Christmas tree 🥰
"Christmas is a beacon for the lost...." 👏🏿 ☦️
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much !!!!
You have enriched my life and my faith.
I'm drinking an iced tea made from loose English Breakfast Tea and it's yummy. ☦️☦️☦️☦️
Much love to you both during this powerfully poignant season.
Dear Everyone who sees this: forward it to as many as you can.
wonderful video, merry christmas
Merry Christmas!
28th December is also the Feast of the Innocents on the western calendar. We remember all those who share in the victory of Jesus Christ when those who walk in darkness tried to extinguish the light.
Lord have mercy! The slaughter of the Holy Innocence is also a part of the Nativity. Lord have mercy!
These are not the 14,000 slaughtered innocents by Herod.
Excellent video, as always.
Another great video!! Thank you for what you do!!
Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas!
Appreciate your vids!
Thanks you again
Memory eternal

Nicomedia is in present-day Izmit, Turkey.
Those are not tragic deaths but happy transfers or crossings, Saints with his own words say when they are alive they want to happily and willingly as soon as possible, to die for the Lord, and now when they are in heaven they conform that with joy and happiness.
