On this day, we remember #Saint Emilian of Durostorum, who openly smashed pagan idols during a festival, declaring Christ as the only true God. Arrested and brought before the authorities, he refused to deny his faith, enduring severe beatings. When threatened with fire, he embraced the flames, singing hymns until his death. May his courage inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs. Lord, through the prayers of Martyr Emilian, strengthen our resolve to live according to Your will.
