The Holy Martyrs Theodotion, Paul and Pausirios
Life
Theodotion, Paul, and Pausirios were brothers by birth, Egyptians, who suffered as martyrs in Egypt during the third century. They are commemorated on January 24.
By the accounts Pausirios and Paul confessed their faith in Christ and were martyred under the emperor Diocletian. Their brother Theodotion came to believe in Christ after witnessing the steadfastness of their martyrdom, and he in turn gave his life for the faith.

Your holy martyrs O Lord,
through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God.
For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries,
and shattered the powerless boldness of demons.
Through their intercessions, save our souls!
