Martyrs Claudius, Castor, Sempronian, and Nicostratus were skilled sculptors in Pannonia, tasked with crafting an idol of Asclepius. However, influenced by the Apostle Paul, they embraced Christianity and refused to continue their work. Upon their refusal, they were imprisoned and faced severe torture. Remaining steadfast in their newfound faith, they were ultimately martyred for their convictions.

Lord, may their sacrifice inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs.
