Martyr Emilian of Durostorum, a brave soul in Moesia during Julian the Apostate's reign, openly professed his #ChristianFaith. When the governor sought the one who destroyed idols, Emilian declared, "I did it, so that your error may be manifest!" For this, he was condemned to be burned. As the flames rose, Emilian entered the fire with joy, offering himself as a whole burnt offering to #God. May his courage inspire us to boldly witness to Christ. O, Emilian, pray that we gain strength to resist the allure of false idols in our lives. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #PrayerForStrength
