Memorial Day on November 1 St. Hoar from Egypt The martyr St. Hoar and seven Christian teachers lived in Egypt during the special persecutions of the Christians (end of the 3rd century - beginning of the 4th century). In common was a military leader and a secret Christian. He provided aid to many persecuted and imprisoned Christians. Visiting prisons at night, he brought food to the prisoners, dressed wounds and encouraged them. He once spent the whole night talking to seven Christian teachers condemned to death, who had previously been beaten and starved. In the morning, when the convicts were led to the execution, Auer went with them. The judge, who saw the firmness of Uar's special faith, ordered him to be severely beaten, during which the saint died. So Christian teachers were cut off. It was in 307.
