Witness for Christ, Saint Lup, a Roman soldier, bravely confessed his faith during the persecutions under Emperor Aurelian. When ordered to deny Christ and worship idols, he refused. He endured horrific tortures, including being stretched on a rack and having his flesh torn with iron claws. Despite the agony, he remained steadfast, miraculously surviving each ordeal. Finally, he was beheaded for his unwavering belief. His courage inspired many.
O Holy Martyr Lup, pray to God for us! May your unwavering faith fortify us in our own trials. Intercede for the persecuted and the faithful.
