SAINTS SERGIUS & BACCHUS

Saints Sergius and Bacchus were not just Christian canonized martyrs, they were also III century Roman soldiers, whose suspiciously close relationship might indicate that don’t-ask-don’t-tell is an ancient military tradition. Evidence of their alleged love affair is found in the original text of their martyrology, where the term "erastai", Greek for lovers, is used to describe the couple. However, we believe that the ultimate evidence is provided by this picture right here, which is worth a thousand Greek words. GO SAINTS!
