Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ἕσπερος καὶ Ζωὴ οἱ Μάρτυρες καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν Κυριάκος καὶ Θεόδουλος

Early in the second century a pagan named Catallus bought Hesperus, his wife Zoë, and their sons Cyriac and Theodulus as slaves. All of them were Christians, and would not eat anything that had been sacrificed to idols — they would throw all such food to the dogs and go hungry themselves. When Catallus learned of this, he was enraged and began to torture them cruelly, beginning with the children. When none of them could be moved from his confession of Christ, the entire family was cast into a hot furnace, where they gave up their souls to God. Their bodies remained unburnt.
