Holiday November 28

The Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the martyrs Samoni, Guria and Aviv. The saints lived in the III-IV century and were known as healers. Men became victims of persecution for their faith. Over time, they were captured and subjected to numerous tortures.

Samonia, Guria and Aviv were forced to abandon Christianity, but the healers did not succumb, for which they were executed. It is believed that on November 28 it is worth praying to the saints to get rid of a toothache.
