Epictet, a priest, and Astion, a monk, boldly preached Christ in Scythia during Emperor Diocletian's reign. Arrested for their faith, they refused to sacrifice to idols, declaring Christ as the only true God. Despite severe torture, they remained steadfast, converting many onlookers. Finally, they were beheaded. Their unwavering devotion inspired countless others to embrace Christianity.
