Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, priests of Scythia Minor, fearlessly preached the Gospel. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring cruel tortures. When thrown into a fiery furnace, they emerged unharmed, a testament to divine protection. Their unwavering devotion converted many before their execution by beheading. O holy Martyrs, intercede for us that we may remain steadfast in faith.
