During the reign of Emperor Maximian, Nicandru and Marcian were arrested for their Christian faith. They were brought before a judge and cruelly tortured for refusing to renounce Christ. Despite enduring unimaginable suffering – being scourged, burned with fire, and having their bodies lacerated with iron hooks – they remained steadfast in their faith. Ultimately, they were beheaded for Christ. Their unwavering commitment to God, even in the face of death, serves as a powerful testament to the strength of their belief.

O Holy Martyrs Nicandru and Marcian, pray to God for us!
