Greetings all,
On
this day we commemorate with joy the victory of Emperor Heraclius and
his army at the battle of Ninevah on December 12th in 627 AD:
The
Byzantine forces fought the Sassanians under emperor Khosaru II and his
appointed general Rhahzadh, who was said to have challenged Emperor
Heraclius to single combat. Heraclius accepted and killed Rahdadh and
also two other challengers after him. After 8 hours of fighting the
Sassanian army was forced to retreat, giving the Byzantines the victory.
