Donat, a bishop, and Venust, a monk, faced persecution under Emperor Julian the Apostate. Ordered to renounce Christ and worship idols, they refused steadfastly. For their unwavering faith, they were subjected to cruel tortures, beaten, and eventually beheaded around 362 AD. Their martyrdom stands as a testament to courage and devotion in the face of apostasy.

Let us pray for their intercession, that we may be granted the strength to remain true to Christ in times of trial. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyrdom #Faith #Prayer
