In the Roman army, #Martyr Dassie refused to celebrate the pagan festival of Saturnalia, proclaiming himself a #Christian. He was ordered to serve as a priest in the temple, a task he steadfastly declined. His steadfast #Faith led to his torture and beheading on January 20, 304 A.D., near Durostorum (present-day Silistra, Bulgaria).
O Holy Dassie, pray to #God for us, that we may be granted the strength to stand firm in our beliefs as you did! #OrthodoxSaints #SpiritualWarfare
