During the Diocletianic persecutions, Bishop Irineu of Sirmium was arrested and subjected to brutal torture for his Christian faith. Refusing to renounce Christ, he was brought before the governor. Despite threats and promises, Irineu remained steadfast, confessing his belief in Jesus Christ. He was ultimately beheaded for his unwavering devotion. His martyrdom inspired many, solidifying the faith in a time of immense pressure. Saint Irineu, pray to God for us, that we may be strong in our faith! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Faith #Prayer
