The Eastern Cross/Library/The Martyrs of Palestine
The Martyrs of Palestine
Eusebius of Caesarea · c. 311
Eusebius saw the Great Persecution with his own eyes in Palestine, and his teacher Pamphilus was among those killed. Here he records the martyrs he knew, year by year.
Many of them are saints of the Church whose memory we still keep.
