Hor, Besoy (also known as Psoi and Absahi), and Daydara (also known as Didra) were Christian martyrs in Egypt in the fourth century.
Hor was a soldier. With his brother Besoy, he confessed to his belief in Christianity at Alexandria during the Diocletian Persecution.
Hor was subjected to prolonged torture before being pierced by a lance. Besoy was decapitated. Daydara died while under torture.
They are regarded as saints, with a feast day of June 23 in the Coptic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East.
Besoy also has a separate feast day on August 24.
