During the persecution against Christians under the emperors Diocletian (284-305) and Maximian (305-311). The two friends Gury and Samon, preachers of the Word of God, were arrested in the city of Edessa. The saints refused to offer sacrifice to the gods, and boldly confessed their faith in Christ. For this they were subjected to cruel tortures: they were beaten, hung up by their hands, heavy weights were tied to their feet, and they were cast into a stifling prison.
The martyrs endured everything with firmness and Samonas uttered a prayer to the Lord, which one of the witnesses to their death wrote down: O Lord my God, against whose will not a single sparrow falls into the snare. It was You Who made room for David in his sorrow Ps. 4:1, Who proved the Prophet David stronger than lions Dan. 6, and granted a child of Abraham to be victor over torture and flames Dan. You know also, Lord, the infirmity of our nature, You see the struggle set before us.
Our foe strives to snatch us, the work of Your right hand, away from You and to deprive us of the glory which is in You. With Your compassionate eye watching over us, preserve in us the inextinguishable light of Your Commandments. Guide our steps by Your light, and make us worthy of Your Kingdom, for You are blessed unto ages of ages. After the death of the saints, numerous miracles were wrought by them for those who entreated their help with faith and love. The Holy Church addresses the martyrs: "Rejoice, Gury, Samon and Aviv, Heavenly Patrons of honorable marriage". We pray to them for deliverance from family turmoil, and from marital difficulties, especially where one spouse hates the other without cause.
