November 11th
Troparion of the Holy Martyrs Victor, Vincent and Stephanie (Tone 4)
Together let us honour the Athletes of Christ, memorable Victor and noble Vincent and with them we praise divine Stephanie: by their contests they destroyed the enemy. By their supplications, O Christ our God, have mercy on our souls.

St. Victor was a Roman soldier during the reign of Emperor Antoninus (138-161). While he was being tortured for his faith in Christ, a young woman named Stephanie openly confessed her faith in Christ, as well. Victor was beheaded and Stephanie was torn in half by being tied hands and feet to the bent down tops of two palm trees.

This icon is by the hand of Nicholas Papas. This icon is one of the "cloud of witnesses" at St. Philip's Antiochian Orthodox Church, Souderton, Pennsylvania.
