• Venerable martyrs of Karyes Skete on Mount Athoskilled by the Latins: Hosiosmartyr COSMAS 科斯玛 the Protos, and Venerable Martyrs of Karyes of Mt Athos (1276-1283) suffered at the hands of the Papists at the time of the Union of Lyons (1274), which was the work of Emperor Michael Palaeologus (1260-1281) and the pope. The Protos of the Holy Mountain was hanged, and the others were beheaded
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ὁσιομάρτυρες τοῦ Ἁγίου Ὄρους
A contemporary writer says that the monks who lived in cells around Karyes were ordered to gather together, headed by the Protos, in order to concede to the union with the Papal Church, that is, to become Latin-minded and accept Latin doctrines. This proposal was seen by everyone as a betrayal of Orthodoxy, and they all responded that they would rather die as martyrs for the Orthodox faith. In vain the representatives of the emperor threatened them with horrible deaths, but the Athonites of Karyes and the Protos were unconvinced. They were thus given over to be tortured, but the more they were tortured, the more firm they became in their Orthodox faith. For this reason Kosmas the Protos was sentenced to die by hanging, while the rest of the monks were sentenced to be slaughtered with the sword, thus making the sacred land of Karyes red with their blood.
During this visit of the Latin-minded Uniates, monks of the sacred Monasteries of Vatopaidi, Iveron, Zographou and Xenophontos were martyred. According to one tradition, Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos led a military group and captured the monks of the cells of Karyes, as well as the Protos of the Holy Mountain. After being rebuked by the monks, the emperor was enraged and had them killed with swords, while he set fire to the Protaton Church.
