The holy martyrs, beheaded by the Latins at the Iveron Monastery on Mount Athos are Georgian saints who were decapitated by the Latins in the 13th century at the Monastery of Iviron. They are commemorated on May 13.[1]
Georgian monks began to settling on Mount Athos from the forties in the 940s. by the 13th century, it had become a stronghold for crusaders.[1]
Crusaders, often referred to as Papists, launched repeated attacks on the area between 1259 and 1306. In an attempt to undermine Orthodox unity, they decapitated several abbots from monasteries such as Zograf Monastery, Vatopedi, Protaton, among others. Not even the Monastery of Iviron was spared their wrath.[2]
The crusaders demanded that the Iveronian monks accept Catholic faith and recognize the supremacy of the Pope, which the monks refused. As reported by the Athonite Patriarchate, the monks were forcibly removed from Iveron Monastery, placed on a ship, and drowned at sea by the Papists. The younger and healthier monks, predominantly Georgian, were transported to Italy along with monastery property and sold into slavery.[3]
According to various sources, this event took place at Iveron Monastery, with one indicating 1259 and others suggesting a timeframe between 1276 and 1280.[4]
