The two w ere very close to Roman Emperor Maximian. Tradition states that Sergius &a mp\; Bacchus were not willing to worship the Roman deity Jupiter for they were Christians. As punishment\, they were dressed in female attire &\; paraded around the city in humiliation. They were then sent to Barbalisso s(Beit Bales) where the military commander Antiochus was a friend of Sergi us. There the pair was inflicted with great torture but they wouldn't reno unce their faith. After Bacchus died from the extreme torture\, Antiochus ordered his body thrown into the river. Thus Mor Bacchus attained the crow n of martyrdom.Sergius was greatly disheartened\, but later that night\, B acchus appeared to him in a dream\, telling Sergius to remain steadfast in the faith. Antiochus continued to torture Sergius\, driving nails into hi s feet\, tied him up to a horse &\; ordered him to be dragged to the to wn of Resafa. There\, even after continuous torture\, Sergius would not re nounce his faith in Christ. He was eventually beheaded. Thus Mor Sergius a ttained the crown of martyrdom.St. Sergius &\; St. Bacchus were very po pular throughout Late Antiquity. The close friendship between the saints i s strongly emphasized in their hagiographies &\; traditions\, making th em one of the most famous examples of paired saints. Churches in their hon or were built in several cities. In AD431 Bishop Alexander of Hierapolis r enovated the church which was built over the tomb of Sergius. The church a t Resafa &\; the tomb are now famous pilgrim centres. The Byzantine Emp eror Justinian I renamed Resafa as Sergiopolis. Justinian built churches i n the name of Sergius at Constantinople &\; Palestine. The Syriac Ortho dox Church had a monastery in Azerbaijan dedicated to their honour.
