April 29 – what holiday is today in the church calendar

April 29 in the church calendar is the day of remembrance of the martyrs Agapia, Irina, Chionia .

They were orphaned very early and decided not to marry, but to devote their lives to serving the Lord.

Then the emperor was Diocletian, who was an ardent opponent of Christians. Once he visited Aquileia, where they immediately began persecution of those who professed the faith of Christ.
