Saints Nicander and Marcian, Roman soldiers, converted to Christianity by Saint Peter himself, abandoned their military posts after witnessing Peter's miracles. They dedicated themselves to burying martyred Christians, collecting their relics, and spreading the Gospel. Their actions enraged the authorities, leading to their arrest, torture, and eventual martyrdom by fire in the year 64 AD.

O Holy Martyrs, pray for us to have your courage and dedication in spreading the Gospel.
