Saints Trophimus and Thallus were martyred during the reign of Diocletian (284–305 AD). They hailed from the city of Stratonicea in Caria, Asia Minor, now known as Aidenelili in Turkey. During the persecution of Christians, they were arrested for confessing Christ and stoned for several hours but remained unharmed by divine grace. Later, despite being captured again and pressured to deny their faith, they boldly professed their belief and ridiculed idols. This enraged the tyrant who ordered them crucified. Their holy relics were eventually buried in a sacred place, with pious Christians such as Josima and Artemius transporting the relics back to their hometown of Stratonicea.
