Martyr Dassie, a Roman soldier, refused to participate in the pagan festival of Saturnalia, proclaiming his Christian faith. Ordered to dress in pagan attire and engage in immoral acts, he chose to remain true to Christ. For his steadfast refusal, he was tortured and beheaded. His sacrifice stands as a testament to unwavering faith in the face of worldly pressure.

Holy Martyr Dassie, pray to God for us! #Martyr #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Prayer
