On this day, we remember Saint Emilian of Durostorum, who bravely confessed his faith during a pagan festival. When asked who destroyed the idols, he proclaimed it was him. For his unwavering belief in Christ, he was sentenced to be burned. As the flames rose, he surrendered his soul to God, a beacon of faith against the darkness of paganism.

Lord, may Saint Emilian's courage inspire us to stand firm in our faith.
