Kondrat spent all his childhood and youth in the desert. Having matured, he finally met Christians. Those explained to him the foundations of faith, and the codes was imbued with them. In parallel, he learned to literacy, and then, being very talented, he was able to master medical science and became an excellent doctor.

During interrogations, the codes courageously responsible for himself and the rest of the captives. Then Kondrat and other Christians began to torture. Kondrat steadily endured torture and found the strength to encourage his comrades. In the end, the tormentors decided to throw unshakable believers to be torn to pieces by wild animals. However, the animals did not touch them. Then the martyrs were tied to the chariots by the legs and dragged throughout the city, and then sentenced everyone to execution.
