June 2 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics)

[note 1] For June 2nd, Orthodox Churches on the Old Calendar commemorate the Saints listed on May 20.

The details of their martyrdom are given in a letter written by the Churches of Vienne and Lyons to those in Asia.

The martyrs were attacked by a pagan mob and later tried and condemned for their faith.

Photinus, their leader, bishop of the city, an old man aged ninety, reposed in his dungeon.

The others were thrown to the wild beasts in the amphitheatre at the public games.
