Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia Minor, fearlessly preached Christ in the Roman Empire. Arrested for their faith, they refused to sacrifice to idols despite torture. Astonishingly, even after being thrown into a fiery furnace, they emerged unharmed. Finally, they were beheaded for their unwavering devotion. Holy Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, pray to God for us to stand firm in our faith! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyrs #Prayer #Faith
