Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia Minor, faced persecution for their unwavering faith. Arrested for converting locals, they refused to renounce Christ before the governor. Even after torture, they remained steadfast, proclaiming the Gospel's truth. Miracles occurred, further enraging their captors. Finally, they were beheaded, becoming martyrs for their devotion. May their prayers strengthen our resolve.
Pray to #Epictetus and #Astion, that through your intercession, we may stand firm in our #faith.
