Let us celebrate the fiery faith of #Martyr Emilian of Durostorum!

When confronted for smashing pagan idols, Emilian boldly declared his allegiance to Christ. Dragged before the authorities, he refused to deny his faith, even under torture. Condemned to be burned alive, Emilian entered the flames with joy, offering a final prayer. May his courage ignite our hearts.

O Holy Emilian, pray to God for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Courage
