Saints Nicander and Marcian, Roman soldiers under Emperor Maximian, witnessed the miraculous endurance of Saints Marcellinus and Peter through torture. Moved by faith, they questioned their executioners, embraced Christianity, and were baptized by Saint Marcellinus in prison. After their baptisms, they boldly proclaimed their faith, destroyed idols in the temple of Diana, and were subsequently tortured and beheaded for their unwavering belief.

Let us pray to Saints Nicander and Marcian, asking them to inspire within us the courage to profess our faith openly and to stand firm in the face of adversity, always ready to defend the truth of Christ.
