Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia, spread Christ's word, facing persecution under Emperor Diocletian. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring torture with unwavering devotion. Miracles occurred during their trials, yet they were beheaded, sealing their martyrdom. May their steadfastness inspire us. O Lord, through their prayers, strengthen our resolve to live according to Your will.
