Donat and Venust, Roman soldiers in the 3rd century, were imprisoned for their Christian faith. Facing torture, they remained steadfast. Venust, a simple man, was eventually beheaded. Donat, after enduring brutal suffering, was condemned to be burned alive. Legend says the fire would not consume him, and he lived for several days in the flames, praying. Ultimately, he was martyred, his unwavering faith a testament to the power of God. Holy Martyrs Donat and Venust, pray to God for us and intercede for the persecuted!
