Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, a monk, fearlessly spread the Gospel among the Scythians near the Danube. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring imprisonment and torture. Miracles occurred, with idols crumbling and pagans converting. Despite pleas from Astion's uncle, a high-ranking official, they remained steadfast. They were beheaded for their unwavering devotion.

Holy Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, pray to God for us and inspire us to spread the Gospel fearlessly! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Prayer #Martyrdom
