Claudius, Castor, Sempronian, and Nicostratus were skilled sculptors under Diocletian, tasked with crafting a statue of Asclepius. Witnessing the miraculous power of the Cross and the unwavering faith of the святая Simplecia, they refused to continue their pagan work and embraced Christianity. Their defiance enraged Diocletian, who subjected them to brutal torture. They remained steadfast, praising God until their martyrdom.

Let us pray to these holy martyrs, that through their intercessions, we may find the courage to uphold our faith amidst adversity and to always glorify the one true God.
