During Emperor Diocletian's persecution, Iuliu, a Roman soldier and a devout #Christian, refused to renounce his faith. He was tortured relentlessly, yet remained steadfast. His tormentors tried everything: floggings, fire, and starvation. Iuliu's unwavering belief was inspiring. They finally beheaded him. His martyrdom strengthened the resolve of many.

Oh, Holy Martyr Iuliu, pray to God for us! May your #courage be an example for all facing adversity. Intercede for us, that we may remain faithful. Guide us, a true #Soldier of Christ. Grant us #strength in our times of trial. #Prayer #Orthodoxy
