Maharsapor, a nobleman of Persia (Iran), was tortured and imprisoned during a renewed persecution of Christians under the Persian king Yezdigerd. After spending three years in a dungeon, he was again interrogated, but he refused to deny his faith. The judge thereupon ordered Maharsapor to be left to die of starvation in a pit. A few days later, when the pit was opened, the lifeless body of Maharsapor was discovered in a kneeling posture, indicating he had died while praying.
