Saints Nicander and Marcian, soldiers in the Roman army, witnessed the unwavering faith of Saint Dasius, refusing to desecrate his beliefs even when facing death. Inspired, they sought baptism from Hermolaus, a priest hiding from persecution. Arrested for their Christian faith, they boldly proclaimed Christ before the authorities, enduring scourging, torture, and ultimately, death by beheading. Their steadfast devotion converted many, proving that faith can bloom even in the harshest of soils.

O holy Martyrs #Nicander and #Marcian, pray to God for us, that we may find strength in our own trials!
