Memorial day on November 6, the martyr Arpa Nagransky, ruler of the holy city of Aryath and his 4299 martyrs suffered for the Lord Jesus Messiah in the 6th century. Arpa was the ruler of the city of Nagarna in Gervia, whose inhabitants were Christians. The Arab (or Umayyad) king, the Jew Dunan, after deciding to destroy Christianity in the country, issued an order to kill all followers of Christ. The residents of Nagran remained loyal to God, and Dunan came with a large army to destroy the city. At the walls of Nagarn, the royal koshers declared that Donan would leave alive only those who renounced his crucifix and cross, which is "the sign of the curse". Since he was unable to conquer the Christian city by force, Dunan resorted to deception, and swore that he would not force Christians to convert, but would only pay tribute to Nagran. The townspeople did not listen to St. Arpa's advice and opened the gates believing Donan. The next day, Dunan ordered a huge fire to be lit and all the clergy of the city church thrown into it to scare the rest of the Christians. So 427 people were burned. Shalit Araf and other elders were put in prison. Then the torturer sent his preachers around the city to convert Christians to Judaism. He himself spoke to the residents who were brought from the prison, and said: "I do not require you to give up the God of heaven and earth, I do not want you to worship idols, but I only want you not to believe in Jesus Messiah, because the crucified was a man, not God. " The saints responded that Jesus is God the Word, the second hypostasis of the Holy Trinity, who for the salvation of people received human flesh from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary. "We will not give up Messiah, because he is life for us, and death for him is gain," the sufferers declared to Donan. More than four thousand Christian men, women, elders and children from the city of Nagarna and the nearby villages suffered martyrdom for Christ the Savior.
