But seven young men were refused to reject their faith and offered their goods to the poor and went to a mountain cave to pray where they ultimately fall asleep. The emperor of that time had the cave walled for them so that he doesn’t escape and let them die inside. Therefore, 200 years later when the cave was reopened, they were found in the cave sleeping.
