Mamertin also decided to convert to Christianity as a result of his son's recovery.[5] After the temple was built, Florus and Laurus brought together many local Christians there. The group smashed all of the statues of the pagan gods, and a cross was set up in the temple.[5] The Christians spent the whole night in prayer in the converted temple. As a result of this action, the local authorities had 300 Christians, including Mamertin and Mamertin's son, burned to death.[5] Florus and Laurus were executed in a different manner; Likaion had them thrown down an empty well.[5] The well was covered over with earth.[5] VenerationThe relics are said to have been found incorruptible.[5] It was on the very same day that a severe horse plague came to an end, which led to the martyrs' association with horses. The relics were translated to Constantinople.[5] The existence of the relics in Constantinople is testified by an account of a pilgrim from Novgorod named Anthony, who saw them in 1200, while Stephen of Novgorod saw the heads of the two martyrs in 1350 at the Pantokrator Monastery.[5] Sts. Florus and Laurus have been considered the patrons of horses in Rus and Russia. They have been shown on icons with horses around them.
