Born in Decapolis, Venerable Gregory abandoned wealth for monastic life, facing persecution for defending icons against iconoclasts. He endured imprisonment, beatings, and banishment. He traveled extensively, preaching and strengthening the Orthodox faith. He performed many miracles, healing the sick and casting out demons. Gregory reposed in peace in Constantinople, his life a testament to unwavering faith and courage in the face of adversity.
Lord, through the prayers of Saint Gregory, guide us to defend the truth and stand firm in our #Faith. May his example inspire us to unwavering devotion. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Iconoclasm #Courage
