Venerable Gregory the Decapolit, after years of wandering and teaching, faced persecution for defending icon veneration. Imprisoned and tortured for his unwavering faith, he remained steadfast, his spirit unbroken. Despite suffering, he continued to preach and encourage others to stand firm in their beliefs. His life exemplified courage and devotion to truth amidst adversity.

Let us pray to #GregoryTheDecapolit to intercede for us, that we may have the strength to defend the truth and remain steadfast in our #Faith during times of trial. May his example inspire us to live lives of unwavering #Courage and #Devotion. #OrthodoxSaints
