Assyrian Martyrs Day is not specifically about one occurrence, though one occurrence did play a role in the formation of the commemoration of Martyrs Day. it is a commemoration for all the martyrs given in the name of preserving the collective Assyrian existence at the expense of the lives of those particular martyrs.
On August 7th, Our Assyrian Nation honors and remembers our fallen heroes.

What is Assyrian Martyrs Day?
