Biography

The Guardians of The Holy Scriptures, also known as the Anonymous Martyrs in Africa, Martyrs of Africa, Martyrs of Numidia, or Martyrs of the Holy Books, were a large number of Christians who were tortured and murdered in the region of Numidia, which is now part of modern-day Algeria. These brave individuals lived during the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian and became victims of the widespread persecutions that targeted Christians during that time.
