Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia, fearlessly spread the Gospel, converting many to Christianity. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ before the pagan authorities. Despite brutal torture, they remained steadfast, miraculously healed by divine intervention each time. Ultimately, they were beheaded, their martyrdom a testament to unwavering devotion. O Holy Martyrs, intercede for us that we may have such faith!
