On this day, we remember Saint Dassie, a Roman soldier during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. Assigned to guard a pagan temple, Dassie refused to participate in the festival of Saturnalia, as it involved immoral practices. He confessed he was a Christian, and because of this was tortured and beheaded in 304 AD. Let us pray to Saint Dassie, that through his intercessions, we may also find strength to remain steadfast in our faith and resist worldly temptations. #SaintDassie #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Faith #Prayer
