Direction: School BulgarieLes Forty Martyrs of Sebaste were soldiers of Fulminata Legion, stationed at Sebaste (Sivas present) who had converted to Christianity in 320. The Emperor Licinius ordered for the experience, to let them pass night on a frozen pond. A warm bath for the attempt was built on the bank. In the middle of the night, one of them went to take refuge but his decomposed body it immediately. Whoever was responsible for keeping the replacement came from his peers and thus restores the original number. At three in the morning, a supernatural light enveloped and forty crowns down on their foreheads. In the morning, half frozen to death, they were finished and their bodies burned. This topic is quite rare in the portable icons.
