On this day, we remember Martyr Dassie, a Roman soldier during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. Refusing to participate in the pagan festival of Saturnalia, Dassie declared himself a Christian. He relinquished his military honors rather than defile his faith. For his steadfast belief in Christ, he was martyred.

Holy Martyr Dassie, intercede for us, that we may have the strength to uphold our faith in the face of adversity.
