The Hundred Thousand Martyrs (Georgian: ასი ათასი მოწამე asi atasi mots’ame; originally ათნი ბევრნი მოწამენი at’ni bevrni mots’ameni) are saints of the Georgian Orthodox Church who were put to death according to the 14th-century anonymous Georgian source Chronicle of a Hundred Years for not renouncing Christianity by the Khwarezmid sultan Jalal ad-Din upon his capture of the Georgian capital of Tbilisi in 1226. The Georgian church commemorates them on 13 November (O.S. 31 October).
