Saints Raphael, Nicholas and Irene of Lesvos, were martyred in the 15th century by the Turks, during the Turkish occupation of Greece. They were unknown for 500 years until they appeared to the faithful of Lesvos in the 1960s. Their memory falls on April 9 but they are commemorated on Bright Tuesday.
