<p>49 Martyrs with Callistratus
</p><p>These holy martyrs suffered at Carthage with St Callistratus at the beginning of the fourth century.
</p><p>St Callistratus was miraculously saved after his tormentors had tied him up in a sack and cast him into the sea. By God’s mercy, however, the sack struck a sharp rock and was torn open. St Callistratus came to dry land unharmed, carried by dolphins. Viewing such a miracle, forty-nine soldiers came to believe in Christ. Then the military commander threw St Callistratus and the believing soldiers into prison. Before this, all of them were subjected to innumerable floggings.
