Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia Minor, were arrested for their unwavering faith during Diocletian's persecution. Brought before the proconsul, they refused to renounce Christ, declaring Him the sole path to salvation. Despite torture and imprisonment, they remained steadfast. Miracles occurred around them, converting onlookers. Finally, they were beheaded for their faith.
O Holy Martyrs, intercede for us that we may remain true to Christ. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Prayer #Martyrdom
