Saints Sadoth et ses
compagnons
Martyrs à Beth Lapat en
Syrie (+342)
ou Schadost.
Sadok ou Sadoth en Perse,
également fêté le 19 octobre.
Evêque martyrisé avec 128
de ses fidèles, prêtres, diacres, moines, hommes et femmes. Après cinq mois
d'emprisonnement dans les fers, ils furent invités à adorer le soleil. Devant
leur refus unanime, "Nous n'annonçons qu'un seul Dieu et le servons de
toute notre âme", ils furent tous décapités, les uns après les autres.
Sadoth a participé au
concile de Nicée en 325 et dirigea l’Église lors de la persécution du dirigeant
perse Shapur II. Nommé évêque de Ctésiphon, en Perse, en 341, il est arrêté un
an plus tard et comparaît devant le roi des Perses qui fait aussi saisir cent
vingt-huit membres de son Église, des prêtres, des moines et des vierges
consacrées. Enchaînés, torturés, tous refusent d'apostasier. Sur le lieu de
leur supplice, ils chantent et louent le Seigneur, jusqu'à la mort du dernier
d'entre eux. Sadoth, lui, est conduit dans une autre ville où il est
publiquement décapité.
L'hagiographie de
l’Église chaldéenne les exalte parce qu'ils préférèrent le Christ au culte du
soleil et pour cela furent décapités les uns après les autres.

Shahdost de Séleucie
† 342
Sadoth (ou Sciadhustes, «ami
du roi») était prêtre dans le diocèse de Séleucie-Ctésiphon (sud de Bagdad,
Irak).
En 325, le onzième évêque
de ce siège était Shimun Bar Sabba’e (v. 17 avril) qui, ne pouvant se rendre au
concile de Nicée, y envoya son prêtre Shahdost (habituellement écrit chez
nous Sadoth).
Au retour, celui-ci lui
apportait la décision prise durant ce concile, de nommer Shimun métropolitain
pour toute la Perse.
Shimun fut martyrisé en
341. On lui donna comme successeur Sadoth.
Au printemps de 342,
Sadoth eut une vision dont il fit part à son clergé ; il le convoqua avec la
discrétion nécessaire car la persécution sévissait encore, et leur dit ceci
:
La nuit dernière, j’ai vu
en songe une échelle brillante dont le sommet atteignait le ciel. Tout en haut
se tenait l’évêque Shimun, environné de gloire ; quant à moi, j’étais à terre
tout en bas. ‘Sadoth, me dit-il d’un ton qui exprimait son bonheur et sa joie,
monte jusqu’à moi, ne crains rien, je suis monté hier, à ton tour aujourd’hui
!’ J’ai cru comprendre dès lors que j’étais appelé à confesser le Christ ; l’an
passé, Shimun a subi le martyre, je dois le subir cette année et être livré à
la mort.
Quand le roi Sapor arriva
à Séleucie, il se fit amener Sadoth avec cent-vingt-huit membres de son clergé,
prêtres, diacres, moines, vierges, qu’il fit charger de chaînes et jeter en
prison, pendant cinq mois.
Pendant cette longue
détention, les gardiens ne cessaient de les tourmenter, et de les inviter à
adorer le soleil.
A la fin, le roi prononça
contre eux la sentence de mort, que tous les prisonniers reçurent avec
l’expression de la plus grande joie.
Sur le chemin qui les
conduisait au supplice, ils chantaient le verset du psaume : Juge-moi,
Seigneur, sépare ma cause de la nation impie ; arrache-moi de l’homme inique et
fourbe, car c’est toi qui es le Dieu de mon refuge (Ps 42:1-2). Sur le
lieu du supplice, le chant continuait et ne s’acheva qu’avec la mort du dernier
martyr.
Sadoth fut conduit en une
autre localité, Beth Lapat (plus tard Gundishapur, proche de Shahabad et
Dezfoul, province du Khouzistan en Iran SW), ce qui représente une distance
d’environ cinq cents kilomètres, que l’évêque n’a certainement pas parcourus
dans un carosse confortable.
C’est donc là qu’il fut
décapité, en l’an 342.

Sadoth BM & Comp. MM
(RM)
(also known as Shahdost,
Schadost, Schiadustes)
Died c. 342. Sadoth,
meaning friend of the king in Persian, succeeded Saint Simeon Barsabba'e as
bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, the two main cities of Persia situated on the
Tigris River. A new persecution of Christians by King Shapur II began soon
after his election. Sadoth and his clergy hid, although they remained in close
contact with their flock. During this time, Sadoth had a vision the God was
calling him to shed his blood. He called his clergy together to relate the
message: "I saw in my sleep, a ladder environed with light and reaching
from earth to the heavens. Saint Simeon was at the top of it, and in great
glory. He beheld me at the bottom, and said to me, with a smiling countenance:
'Mount up, Sadoth, fear not. I mounted yesterday, and it is your turn today':
which means, that as he was slain last year, so I am to follow him this."
He urged them to serve God with increased zeal to ensure they were ready to
take possession of their inheritance. They did not seek death be were ready to
embrace it.
Saint Maruthas, who wrote
Sadoth's acta, meditated: "A man that is guided by the Spirit, fears not
death. He loves God, and goes to him with an incredible ardor; but he who lives
according to the desires of the flesh, trembles, and is in despair at its approach:
he loves the world, and it is with grief that he leaves it."
During the second year of
the persecution, Sadoth and 128 others were arrested. Most of these were
martyred immediately after their arrest, but Sadoth and eight others were
detained for five months in a filthy dungeon at Bei-Lapat and tortured before
being executed. Three times they were racked and questioned. Amid the sound of
bones being broken and urgings to apostatize, Sadoth answered in the name of
all, that the sun was but a creature, the work of God, made for the good of
mankind; that they would pay supreme adoration to none but the Creator of
heaven and earth, and never be unfaithful to him; that it was indeed in their
power to take away their lives, but that this would be the greatest favor they
could do them. And the soldiers urged them to renounce Christ.
As with one voice the
martyrs cried: "We shall not die, but live and reign eternally with God
and his Son Jesus Christ. Kill us as soon as you please; for we repeat it to you
that we will not adore the sun." The king sentenced them to death. The
martyrs thanked God and encouraged one another. They were chained two and two
together, and led out of the city to execution, singing psalms and canticles of
joy as they went. At the place of their martyrdom they sang louder and even
more joyfully, giving thanks to God for his mercy, and begging for the grace of
perseverance and that by this baptism of their blood they might enter into his
glory. These prayers and praises of God did not cease but until the last of
this blessed company was beheaded.
Shapur II ordered that
Sadoth be separated from his flock and sent into the province of the Huzites,
where he was beheaded and rejoined his happy flock in the kingdom of glory.
Ancient Chaldaic writers quoted by Assemani say that Simeon Barsabba'e was
Sadoth's maternal uncle (Attwater, Benedictines, Husenbeth). In art, Saint
Simeon appears on a ladder and invites Sadoth to ascend to heaven
(Roeder).

St. Sadoth, Bishop of
Seleucia and Ctesiphon, with 128 Companions, Martyrs
From his genuine acts in
Metaphrastes, Bollandus, and Ruinart; but more correctly in the original
Chaldaic given us by Assemani, t. 1. p. 83. Orsi, Hist. t. 5. l. 13. See
Le Quien, Oriens Christ. t. 2. p. 1108
A.D. 342.
SADOTH, as he is
called by the Greeks and Latins, is named in the original Persian language,
Schiadustes, which signifies “friend of the king,” from schiah, king,
and dust, friend. His unspotted purity of heart, his ardent zeal, and
the practice of all Christian virtues, prepared him, from his youth, for the
episcopal dignity, and the crown of martyrdom. St. Simeon, bishop of Selec, or
Seleucia, and Ctesiphon, then the two capital cities of Persia, situate on the
river Tigris, being translated to glory by martyrdom, in the beginning of the
persecution raised by Sapor II., in 341, St. Sadoth was chosen three months
after to fill his see, the most important in that empire, but the most exposed
to the storm. This grew more violent on the publication of a new edict against
the Christians, which made it capital to confess Christ. To wait with patience
the manifestation of the divine will, St. Sadoth, with part of his clergy, lay
hid for some time; which did not however hinder him from affording his
distressed flock all proper assistance and encouragement, but rather enabled
him to do it with the greater fruit. During this retreat he had a vision which
seemed to indicate that the time was come for the holy bishop to seal his faith
with his blood. This he related to his priests and deacons, whom he assembled
for that purpose. “I saw,” said he, “in my sleep, a ladder environed with light
and reaching from earth to the heavens. St. Simeon was at the top of it, and in
great glory. He beheld me at the bottom, and said to me, with a smiling
countenance: ‘Mount up, Sadoth, fear not. I mounted yesterday, and it is your
turn to-day:’ which means, that as he was slain last year, so I am to follow
him this.” He was not wanting on this occasion to exhort his clergy, with great
zeal and fervour, to make a provision of good works, and employ well their
time, till they should be called on in like manner, that they might be in
readiness to take possession of their inheritance. “A man that is guided by the
Spirit,” says St. Maruthas, author of these acts, “fears not death: he loves
God, and goes to him with an incredible ardour; but he, who lives according to
the desires of the flesh, trembles, and is in despair at its approach: he loves
the world, and it is with grief that he leaves it.”
The second year of the
persecution, King Sapor coming to Seleucia, Sadoth was apprehended, with
several of his clergy, some ecclesiastics of the neighbourhood, and certain
monks and nuns belonging to his church, to the amount of one hundred and
twenty-eight persons. They were thrown into dungeons, where, during five
months’ confinement, they suffered incredible misery and torments. They were
thrice called out, and put to the rack or question; their legs were straight
bound with cords, which were drawn with so much violence, that their bones
breaking, were heard to crack like sticks in a faggot. Amidst these tortures
the officers cried out to them: “Adore the sun, and obey the king, if you would
save your lives.” Sadoth answered in the name of all, that the sun was but a
creature, the work of God, made for the use of mankind, that they would pay
supreme adoration to none but the Creator of heaven and earth, and never be
unfaithful to him; that it was indeed in their power to take away their lives,
but that this would be the greatest favour they could do them; wherefore he
conjured them not to spare them, or delay their execution. The officers said:
“Obey! or know that your death is certain and immediate.” The martyrs all cried
out with one voice: “We shall not die, but live and reign eternally with God
and his son Jesus Christ. Wherefore inflict death as soon as you please; for we
repeat it to you that we will not adore the sun, nor obey the unjust edicts.”
Then sentence of death was pronounced upon them all by the king; for which they
thanked God, and mutually encouraged each other. They were chained two and two
together, and led out of the city to execution, singing psalms and canticles of
joy as they went. Being arrived at the place of their martyrdom, they raised
their voices still higher, blessing and thanking God for his mercy in bringing
them thither, and begging the grace of perseverance, and that by this baptism
of their blood they might enter into his glory. These prayers and praises of
God did not cease but with the life of the last of this blessed company. St.
Sadoth, by the king’s orders, was separated from them, and sent into the
province of the Huzites, where he was beheaded. He thus rejoined his happy
flock in the kingdom of glory. Ancient Chaldaic writers quoted by Assemani say,
St. Schiadustes, or Sadoth, was nephew to Simeon Barsaboe, being son to his
sister. He governed his church only eight months, and finished his martyrdom
after five months imprisonment, in the year 342, and of King Sapor II. the
thirty-third. These martyrs are honoured in the Roman Martyrology on this day.

Hieromartyr Sadoc (Sadoth),
Bishop of Persia, and 128 Martyrs with him
Commemorated on October
19
Hieromartyr Sadoc was the
hierarch of a Persian district. When the Persian emperor Sapor learned that
Sadoc was preaching faith in Christ, he gave orders to arrest and imprison him
together with 128 Christian believers. For several months they attempted to
persuade the righteous martyrs to repudiate the holy Faith, but unable to
accomplish this, they executed them.
Hieromartyr Sadoc
(Sadoth), Bishop of Persia, and 128 Martyrs with him
Commemorated on February
20
The Hieromartyr Sadoc,
Bishop of Persia, and 128 Martyrs with him suffered in Persia under Sapor II.
Saint Sadoc was successor of the hieromartyr Simeon (April 17). He once had a
dream, in which Saint Simeon told him of his own impending martyric death.
Standing in great glory atop a ladder reaching up to Heaven, Saint Simeon said,
“Ascend to me, Sadoc, and be not afraid. Yesterday I ascended, and today you
will ascend.”
Soon the emperor Sapor,
renewing the persecution against Christians, ordered that Saint Sadoc be
arrested with his clergy and flock. In all, 128 people were arrested, including
nine virgins. They were thrown into prison, where they were cruelly tortured
for five months. They were told to renounce the Christian Faith and instead to
worship the sun and fire. The holy martyrs bravely answered, “We are Christians
and worship the One God.” They were sentenced to beheading by the sword.
Santi Sadoth e
centoventotto compagni Martiri
† Bait-Lapat, Persia, 342
Martirologio
Romano: In località Bēth Lapāt nel regno di Persia, passione dei santi
Sadoth, vescovo di Seleucia, e centoventotto compagni, martiri: sacerdoti,
chierici e vergini consacrate, rifiutatisi di adorare il sole, furono messi in
prigione, sottoposti per lunghissimo tempo a crudeli torture e infine trucidati
per ordine del re.
Nel 341 il re persiano Sapore II, acerrimo nemico dei cristiani, intraprese nei loro confronti una feroce persecuzione. Il Martyrologium Romanum cita al 17 aprile San Simeone Bar Sabba’, vescovo di Seleucia-Ctesifonte, e numerosi suoi compagni quali principali vittime di tale ondata di persecuzione nel 341, ma l’anno seguente fu la volta di Sadoth e di altri centoventotto cristiani.
Sadoth, ordianato diacono proprio dal vescovo San Simeone, lo aveva rappresentato al concilio di Nicea del 326 e, qaundo questi morì martire, gli succedette nella sede di Seleucia-Ctesifonte. Il suo episcopato fu però assai breve e per esercitare il ministero affidatogli si ritrovò costretto a rifugiarsi in luogo appartato. Un giorno a Sadoth apparve in sogno il suo santo predecessore posto alla sommità di una scala luminosa che conduceva al Paradiso, il quale gli disse: “Io sono salito ieri, e oggi è il tuo turno”. Sadoth prese dunque coscienza dell’imminenza del suo martirio, ad un solo anno di distanza da quello del suo maestro.
Il re Sapore non tardò infatti ad arrivare a Seleucia, ove fece arrestare il vescovo insieme a vari sacerdoti, chierici minori e suore, per un totale di ben centoventotto crisitani. Condotti dunque in prigione, furono terribilmente torturati per oltre cinque mesi, con la minaccia di proseguire a soffrire finché non avessero obbedito al sovrano e non avessero accettato di adorare il sole quale divinità.
Sadoth allora replicò che il sole non era che una delle tante creature create dall’unico vero Dio per il bene dell’umanità e dunque il solo Creatore è degno di culto nei suoi confronti. L’insieme dei prigionieri poi affermò: “Noi non moriremo, ma vivremo e regneremo in eterno con Dio e con suo figlio Gesù Cristo”. Vennero allora condotti tutti fuori della città, incatenati a coppie e quindi assassinati. Sadoth, invece, fu separato dal suo gregge, trasferito a Bait-Lapat e qui infine dacapitato.

Den hellige Sadoth av Selevkia-Ktesifon og 128
ledsagere (d. ~342)
Minnedag: 18.
februar
Den hellige Sadoth
(Sadot, Sadota, Sahdost, Shahdost, Shalidoste, Sadosh, Schadost, Schâh-Dost,
Sadhoc, Sadoch, Saduch, Sadoc, Sadok, Zadok, Zaduk; pers: Schiadustes) levde i
Persia på begynnelsen av 300-tallet. Hans persiske navn Schiadustes (Schahdust,
Sciadustus) betyr «kongens venn». Noen sier at han ble født i Susa, andre at
han var fra Betgarme eller Bargerma. Han var diakon under metropolitten for
Kirken i Persia, den hellige biskop Simeon Barsabae av
Selevkia-Ktesifon (tvillingbyer ved elven Tigris). Gamle kaldeiske forfattere
som siteres av Stefano Evodio Assemani (1707-82), orientalist og
titularerkebiskop av Apamea i Syria, var Sadoth nevø av Simeon Barsabae, sønn
av hans søster. Han representerte sin biskop i 325 på det første økumeniske
konsilet i Nikea (i dag Iznik i Tyrkia). I 340 satte kong Shapur II (Sapor)
(309-79) av Persia i gang sin tredje og voldsomste forfølgelse av de kristne i
sitt kongerike. Biskop Simeon og hans hundre ledsagere ble drept langfredag
341, og et av de lengste enkeltoppslagene i Martyrologium Romanum er viet deres
martyrium.
Etter biskop Simeons
martyrdød ble Sadoth tre måneder senere valgt til hans etterfølger som biskop
av Selevkia-Ktesifon. Han og noen av hans presteskap ble drevet under jorden,
men fra sitt skjulested var de i stand til å tjene sin flokk. I en drøm så
Sadoth en stige som gikk opp til himmelen, og på toppen av den sto Simeon
Barsabae i herlighet. Simeon kalte på ham og ba ham komme opp og sa: «Jeg gikk
opp stigen i går, og i dag er det din tur». Sadoth tolket det slik at dette
betydde: «Som han ble slaktet i fjor, skal jeg følge ham i år». Han formante
sine prester til å tjene Gud med enda større iver for å være sikre på at de var
klare til å ta sin arv i besittelse. De søkte ikke døden, men var rede til å
møte den.
Kong Shapur II kom til
Selevkia og arresterte biskop Sadoth sammen med i alt 128 prester, lavere
geistlige og vigslete jomfruer. De fleste av dem ble henrettet med det samme,
men Sadoth og åtte ledsagere ble kastet i et skittent fangehull, hvor de i fem måneder
ble torturert på det grusomste. Tre ganger ble de sluppet ut fra fangehullet,
lagt på strekkbenken og forhørt. Deres ben ble stramt bundet med snorer, som
ble trukket med så mye makt at deres ben brakk med en lyd som hørtes ut som
pinner som knakk i et kvistfang. Midt i denne torturen ropte offiserene til
dem: «Tilbe solen og adlyd kongen dersom dere vil berge livet». Sadoth svarte
på vegne av alle at solen bare var en skapning og Guds verk, laget for
menneskenes beste, slik at de ikke skulle tilbe noen andre enn Skaperen av
himmel og jord og aldri være troløse mot ham. Torturistene hadde virkelig makt
til å ta deres liv, men at dette ville være den største tjenesten de kunne
gjøre dem. Derfor bønnfalt han dem ikke om å spare dem, eller utsette deres henrettelse.
Offiserene sa: «Adlyd! eller vit at deres død er sikker og øyeblikkelig».
Martyrene ropte alle ut med en røst: «Vi skal ikke dø, men leve og råde i
evighet sammen med Gud og hans Sønn, Jesus Kristus. Påfør oss derfor døden så
snart dere vil, for vi gjentar til dere at vi verken vil tilbe solen eller
adlyde de urettferdige ediktene».
Da avsa kongen dødsdom
over dem alle, noe de takket Gud for og oppmuntret hverandre. Da ble de ført ut
av byen for henrettelse, lenket sammen to og to, mens de sang salmer og
gledessanger. De takket Gud for hans nåde ved å bringe dem dit. Bønnene og
lovprisningen sluttet ikke før de alle var drept. Sadoth ble på kongens ordre
skilt fra sin flokk og ført til Beit-Lapat (Bēth Lapāt), hvor han ble halshogd.
Det skjedde rundt 342, ifølge tradisjonen den 18. februar 342, men de persiske
martyraktene sier at det skjedde lørdag den 20. februar 342, da Sadoth hadde
vært biskop i bare åtte måneder. Bollandistene legger hans martyrium til 345.
Sadoth og hans ledsageres
minnedag i den nyeste utgaven av Martyrologium Romanum (2004) er 18. februar,
mens Østkirken minnes dem den 20. februar. Andre dager som også nevnes, er 4.
mars og 19. og 20. oktober. Sadoths acta ble skrevet av den
hellige Maruthas.
Gamle kaldeiske skrifter sier at Simon Barsabae var Sadoths onkel – bror av
hans mor. I kunsten avbildes Sadoth ved foten av himmelstigen, mens Simeon står
på toppen og ber ham klatre opp.
Sadoths etterfølger som
biskoper av Selevkia-Ktesifon, den hellige Barbasymas (Barba'shmin),
led martyrdøden i 346. Deretter stod bispestolen tom i nesten førti år. I de
voldsomme forfølgelsene mellom 339 og 379 er det antatt at rundt 16 000
kristne ble drept, og mange andre flyktet fra landet under forfølgelsene.

Sadot in perzijski
mučenci;
Sadot je nasledil škofa
Simona, ki je umrl mučeniske smrti. V nekih sanjah se mu je Simon tudi prikazal
in mu povedal, da bo tudi on umorjen. V drugem letu preganjanja kristjanov, je
kralj Sapur prijel Sadota, 128 duhovnikov, menihov in redovnic. Zaprli so jih v
temnico za pet mesecev in jih trpinčili, da bi se spreobrnili. Ker mučenje ni
pomagalo so jetnike 20. februarja 342 obglavili, Sadota pa so odpeljali v mesto
Bet Lapat v pokrajini Bet Huzaje, kjer so ga obglavili.
Goduje 18. februarja.
