Didara, Bisoe and Nor

23 June · commentary

ON THE HOLY MOTHER AND SONS, MARTYRS, DIDARA, BISOE, AND NOR, HONORED AMONG THE SAME ABYSSINIANS.

Commentary

Besoës the soldier, among the same (St.) Nor the brother, among the same (St.) Didara the mother, among the same (St.)

D. P.

I proceed with the Ethiopic Hagiology, and separately from the earlier more numerous troop, I set forth this trio, whom I find there thus saluted. I bid thee greeting, Bisoe the Soldier, whom they bound to an ox with ropes and dragged about; in whose honor I offer a sacrifice of praise. I salute also thy brother Nor, and thy mother Didara: who also themselves for the sake of Christ sustained much trial. By which words it is indicated that these too underwent martyrdom, or certainly by a notable confession deserved to be commemorated among sacred memorials.
