The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus

 

July 27 commemorates the oddest and probably most interesting saints in Church history.

By request of Son #1.

  1. Angelico Nguyen, Esq., OP says:

    ‘The time is the reign of the Emperor Decius and the place is the city of Ephesus.

    ‘These seven men are outlaws — members of a minor sect that the Empire has been trying to stamp out for two and a half centuries: the cult of an enemy of Caesar, sentenced by a Roman governor to die on a Roman cross for the crime of calling himself a king.

    ‘But these seven outlaws believe that their Master’s Kingdom is not of this world. That’s why they’ve given their goods to the poor; that’s why they’re now retreating into this cave, where they plan to await the coming of the true Kingdom.

    ‘Seven men, prepared to wait — but not prepared for what awaits them. For these seven men are about to discover that, between the City of Man and the City of God, there lies a contested territory… a third realm… a realm we call the Twilight Zone….’

  2. That was great. Thanks.
