Abba Hor (Coptic: ϩⲱⲣ), Besoy (Coptic: ⲯⲟⲓ) (also known as Psoi and Absahi), and Daydara (Coptic: ⲑⲉⲟⲇⲱⲣⲁ) (also known as Didra or Theodora)[1] were Christian martyrs in Egypt in the fourth century.
Hor was a soldier. With his brother Besoy, he confessed to his belief in Christianity at Alexandria during the Diocletian Persecution.[2]
Hor was subjected to prolonged torture before being pierced by a lance. Besoy was decapitated. Their mother, Daydara, died under torture.[2]
They are regarded as saints, with a feast day of June 23 in the Coptic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East.[2]
Besoy also has a separate feast day on August 24.
