Martyr Avisanna

Martyr Avisan suffered for Christ in Persia. For confessing the Christian faith, he was subjected to cruel tortures and put to death. The precise circumstances and date of his death have not survived in the available sources, but by the general context of the name and character of his life, he belongs among the numerous Persian martyrs of the 4th century who suffered during the persecutions of Christians by Persian pagans. His feat testifies to the courage of Christian martyrs unafraid of death for confessing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
