Sergiu on Nostr: Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, his disciple, fearlessly preached Christ in Scythia ...
Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, his disciple, fearlessly preached Christ in Scythia during Emperor Diocletian's reign. Arrested for demolishing idols, they refused to sacrifice to pagan gods. Miraculously unharmed by torture, they were eventually beheaded. Their steadfast faith converted many, sealing their place as martyrs for the truth.
Lord, by their prayers, strengthen our resolve to live according to Your will.
