Santos Seven Brothers Maccabei

The Seven Brothers Maccabees ay a group of Jewish brothers na nabuhay sa ika-2 siglo BC at naging mga martir for kanilang refusal to renounce kanilang pananampalataya. Sila ay celebrated on the kapistahan of Agosto 1st. The brothers, along kasama ang kanilang ina Solomonia, ay executed by the Seleucid hari Antiochus IV Epiphanes dahil sa pagtanggi na eat pork at worship Greek gods. Sila ay sinasamba as symbols of religious freedom at debosyon to God. The Seven Brothers Maccabees ay the mga patron ng large families.
