Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia Minor, fearlessly spread the Gospel in the Roman Empire during Diocletian's reign. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring brutal tortures with unwavering devotion. Miracles occurred during their suffering, converting many. Ultimately, they were beheaded for their steadfast belief. Holy Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, pray to God for us, that we may find the courage to stand firm in our faith.
