Văzând că sfântul rabdă durerile fără să scoată vreun cuvânt rău, doi soldaţi care îl păzeau, Porfirie şi Vaptos au mărturisit credinţa lor în Hristos, dar au fost omorâţi pe loc, prin tăierea capului cu sabia. La fel, alte trei femei care au văzut puterea sfântului de a îndura chinurile, L-au lăudat pe Hristos şi au fost şi ele imediat martirizate. Proconsulul Lucian, cuprins de mânie, a apucat el însuşi instrumentele de tortură, începând să-l rănească pe sfântul martir, când deodată mâinile i-au căzut ca secerate de sabie, rămânându-i atârnate de corpul sfântului. Atunci, l-a scuipat în faţă pe sfânt, dar gura i s-a strâmbat şi i s-a întors la ceafă. Lucian, disperat, l-a implorat pe sfânt să-l salveze cu rugăciunile sale şi să se milostivească de el. Sfântul martir, în bunătatea lui, s-a rugat pentru Lucian, care s-a vindecat pe loc. La vederea acestor minuni, mulţi dintre cei prezenţi au trecut la creştinism, printre care şi Lucian, care a căzut la picioarele sfântului episcop şi l-a rugat să-l [[botez]]e. Deasemenea, proconsulul Lucian a oprit persecutarea creştinilor din provincia pe care o guverna, intenţionând să-i raporteze împăratului toate cele întâmplate. Între timp, Haralambie a făcut multe alte minuni, ca vindecarea unor bolnavi, redarea vederii unui orb, şi chiar şi învierea unor morţi. Locuitorii întreagii regiuni din jurul Magneziei au început să creadă în [[Iisus Hristos]].
Împăratul Septimiu Sever, care se afla atunci la [[Antiohia]] (în vestul Asiei Mici), când a auzit toate acestea, a fost cuprins de mânie indignată şi a trimis o trupă de trei sute de soldaţi pentru a-l aresta pe Haralambie şi a-l aduce în faţa lui. Soldaţii nu s-au mulţumit doar cu arestarea sfântului ci l-au supus şi la chinuri, legându-i barba în jurul gâtului şi trăgându-l de ea pe drum. Odată ajuns în Antiohia, Sfântul mucenic a fost supus la alte chinuri: soldaţii împăratului i-au înfipt un piron de fier în trup, i-au ars faţa şi i-au jupuit pielea de pe trup; însă Sfântul Haralambie s-a vindecat în chip miraculos, prin darul lui Dumnezeu.
Odată ajuns în Antiohia, Sfântul mucenic a fost supus la alte chinuri: soldaţii împăratului i-au înfipt un piron de fier în trup, i-au ars faţa şi i-au jupuit pielea de pe trup; însă Sfântul Haralambie s-a vindecat în chip miraculos, prin darul lui Dumnezeu. Împăratul, uimit, a vrut atunci să-l pună la încercare pe Haralambie: a fost adus o persoană care era chinuită de un duh rău timp de 35 de ani, pentru a vedea dacă Haralambie ar putea alunga acest demon. Sfântul, cu harul lui Dumnezeu, a făcut şi această minune. Împăratul a exclamat: "Adevărat, mare este Dumnezeul creştinilor!". Apoi împăratul a adus în faţa lui corpul unui tânăr băiat care murise cu trei zile în urmă, iar acest tânăr a înviat după [[rugăciune]]a făcută de Haralambie.
The devilVăzând toate acestea, in the guise of an old manmulţi oameni au început să creadă în Hristos Mântuitorul. Chiar şi fiica împăratului, Galinia, came to Severus and told him that Charalampus was a magician and had captured his whole armytrecut la creştinism, zdrobind cu mâinile ei idolii dintr-un templu păgân. At this time Charalampus was brought to SeverusPrefectul Crispus l-a îndemnat pe împărat să-l ucidă cît mai grabnic pe Haralambie, pentru a stăvili astfel răspândirea creştinismului în provincia Antiohia. He ordered that La noul refuz al Sfântului mucenic de a se închina zeilor păgâni, împăratul a skewer be made to pierce his chest so they could hang him over dat ordin să i se zdrobească gura cu pietre şi să i se ardă barba, dar sfântul a fireîntors flăcările asupra chinuitorilor săi. Plin de răutate drăcească, împăratul Septimiu Sever, Sever împreună prefectul Crispus au hulit numele lui Dumnezeu, îndrăznind să-L provoace pe Dumnezeu şi să-L cheme să vină pe pământ să-i înfrunte pe ei, "cei mai puternici din lume". There were two witnesses to this torture by fireAtunci Domnul a dat un cutremur înfricoşător, ridicându-i pe cei doi păgâni în aer şi nu i-a lăsat pe pământ până când Sf. One was the emperor'Haralambie nu s concubine and the other her sister-a rugat pentru ei. They assisted with the torture. The sister could not tolerate the torture of such N-a trecut mult timp şi, după ce şi-a revenit din sperietură, împăratul a good man and begged for Charalampus to receive her as dat din nou ordin de torturare a Christian. The fire died out and Charalampus was untouched by itsfântului.
The emperor was frustrated and brought Charalampus in for his questioning. He brought a person who had been tormented by a demon for 36 years to see whether Charalampus could [[exorcism|exorcise]] this demon. This he did. Severus was amazed and exclaimed, "Truly, great is the God of the Christians." The emperor then brought before him a lad who had been dead for three daysÎn cele din urmă, and the lad was resurrected by the [[prayer]]s of Charalampus. All gathered were converted. Severus' prefect la insistenţele prefectului Crispus was angered and asked that the emperor put Charalampus to death. Again Charalampus refused the demands of Severus to honor his gods and the emperor ordered that his face be crushed with stones. Once they bashed his face with stones, they were to apply torches to burn his beard and face. When they applied the fire, the flames leapt forth and spread, burning those present instead. The emperor remembered the words of the wise old man who had told him that Charalampus was împăratul a sorcerer. Severus asked his deputies about who is the Christ. Aristarchos stepped up to tell the truth about Jesus Christ. The emperor, angered, declared war on heaven, challenging Christ to come down from heaven so he could fight him. He exclaimed, "Come down, O Christ, to earth, that we may fight. Behold, my army will war against thee; if thou will not come down, I will pull down the firmament and extinguish the sun!" At this moment there was pronunţat sentinţa de condamnare la moarte a great earthquake. In some way, Severus and Crispus were suspended in midair. The emperor's daughterlui Haralambie, Galina, begged her father to believe in Christ and ask that Christ deliver him from punishmentprin tăierea capului cu sabia. She then [[veneration|venerated]] the saint and asked that the punishment of Severus be stopped and it was. The two retreated to their palace for three days. Meanwhile, his daughter had În timpul rugăciunii pe care a vision of [[paradise]] and that the guardian carried her and set her down next to a cedar tree. Charalampus explained to her that this was the Paradise promised by Christ, that the one who had placed her next to the tree was Jesus Christfăcut-o înainte de moarte, and that she had this vision because of her belief in Christ. After 30 days, the emperor again summoned the priest, asking him again to honor the commands of the emperor, and he again refused. This time Severus had his men place a hose'cerurile s bit in Charalampus' mouth as if he were an irrational beast. His daughter Galina begged her father to stop this torture, but he did not listen to her and Charalampus was paraded through the streets as -au deschis şi sfântul a beast of burdenvăzut pe Mântuitorul şi pe îngerii săi. Galina was relentless and the emperor turned to her and asked her whether she worshiped the gods. She told him that she did. Hearing this, he released Charalampus, elated that his daughter had forsaken the God of Charalampus. Galina then took Charalampus to the temple. He was silent. She then challenged the gods and mocked their impotence. She took hold of the statue of Apollo and pulled him to the ground along with 34 other stone statues of gods. Severus was dismayed and ordered that they be rebuilt that very night so the Galileans would not mock him. He told the workers to tell them that they had risen from the dead. Galina again destroyed them. This time Severus went into a rage and chastised her but could not bring himself to any punishment. He returned to harass Charalampus by assigning him to Sfântul martir i-a widow, thinking that this woman would corrupt Charalampus. Instead, he worked many miracles and she was converted. This time Crispus demanded that Charalampus be beheaded. The emperor pronounced the sentence. The saint chanted holy [[hymn]]s on the way to his execution. He began to pray thus: "I ever give thanks to thee, O Lord my God, for thou are merciful and the Lover of mankind. Thoucerut lui Dumnezeu să aibă grijă de locul unde vor rămâne moaştele sale, O Almightyca acel loc să nu sufere niciodată de foame sau boli, hast cast down our enemysă aibă prosperitate, the evil onepace, and taken Hades captiveabundenţă de fructe, and put death to deathroade şi vin, thus delivering the race of maniar sufletele oamenilor din acel loc să fie mântuite. Remember me, O Lord, in thy kingdom." After he had prayed in this manner, the heavens opened. The Lord, with Domnul i-a multitude of his [[angel]]s, came down. It was promis că o să-i îndeplinească dorinţele şi S-a spectacle full of wonder. The Lord was seen to be sitting on a throne of pearl. He said to his holy priest and martyr, "Come, my pleasing and beloved one, who, for my name's sake, suffered such ill-treatment and hardships. Ask of me whatsoever gift thou dost wish, and I shall grant thine entreatyridicat la cer împreună cu sufletul martirului Haralambie." Charalampus answered, "That thou hastDin mila Domnului, by thy grace, vouchsafed me, the least person, to behold the awesome glory of thy presence, is, in itself, a tremendous gift. But if it please thy goodness to command me to ask sfântul a gift of thee, I beseech thy majesty and dominion to grant this favor: to whomever should find or possess murit înainte de a portion of my [[relics]], and in whatsoever land he may be celebrating the memory of my martyrdom, may he never suffer from hunger or plague or pestilence or an untimely death or destruction from an evil man or injury to cropsfi executat. I pray that he be in firm peaceFiica împăratului, salvation of soulGalinia, and health of body. I entreat that he enjoy plenty of wheatcare trecuse la creştinism, oil, and wine, together with an abundance of livestock and other good and useful possessions. And to whomsoever should read the account of my martyrdom, and invoke my name, I supplicate for his salvation and that he should not suffer evil. Since thou knowest that men are but flesh and blood, and that they are in thine immaculate hands, I beseech thee for the forgiveness of their sins. Do thou pardon the sins of such faithful ones, as thou are good and the Lover of mankind. Do thou also, O Lord, keep the oxen of such in health, and all their animals and livestock, that they may cultivate the earth and abundantly enjoy her fruits, to the glory of thy name." Charalampus then surrendered his soul to the Lord. Severus, in awe, did not punish his daughter, seeing that the God of the Christians was with hera îngropat trupul martirului cu multă onoare.
