The holy and valiant martyrs, of the Theban Legion, who gave their lives for the Faith, and converted the pagans.

Egypt was their homeland, but Europe became their burial ground. Six thousand and six hundred soldiers, the best in the Roman army.

They fought with courage and honour, defeating the impious foes, but idols they would not worship, even under threat of death.

They threw their arms to the ground, and gave their necks unto the sword, preferring death as Christians, to life in shame as infidels.

Their testimony to their Lord, was greeted by many miracles, and thousands of those who stood by, believed on the Name of Jesus Christ.

Blessed are you Saint Maurice, Exuperius and Candid; Victor, Ursus and Alexander, the beloved of Christ.

Pray to the Lord on our behalf, O victorious martyrs, Saint Maurice and his companions, that He may forgive us our sins.
