Martyr Nicander, a Roman soldier, was moved by the unwavering faith of Christians facing torture. He and his comrade Marcian secretly visited them in prison, tending to their wounds and offering encouragement. Witnessing their courage and miracles, Nicander and Marcian converted to Christianity themselves. Denounced for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ and were beheaded.

O Holy Martyrs Nicander and Marcian, intercede for us that we may have the strength to emulate your courage and devotion. #Saints #Martyrs #OrthodoxChristian #Courage #Intercession
