Montanus, a priest, and Maxima, his wife, faced persecution during Diocletian's reign for their unwavering Christian faith. Ordered to renounce Christ and embrace pagan gods, they refused. Enduring brutal tortures, their resolve remained unbroken. Maxima, witnessing her husband's suffering, encouraged him to stay strong. Ultimately, they were drowned at Sirmium, their martyrdom a testament to their devotion.

Lord, may their sacrifice inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs, even in adversity. #Martyrs #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Perseverance #Prayer
