Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, his disciple, fearlessly spread the Gospel in Scythia during Emperor Diocletian's reign. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring brutal tortures. Miraculously healed by divine intervention, they converted many. Ultimately, they were beheaded for their unwavering devotion.
Holy Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, pray to God for us, that we may have the courage to stand firm in our faith. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyrdom #Prayer #Faith
