Martyr #Nicandru and #Marcian, steadfast soldiers of Christ! In a time of intense persecution, they fearlessly gathered and honored the bodies of martyred saints in #Mesopotamia. When their piety was discovered, they were brought before the authorities and commanded to renounce their faith. Unwavering, they refused, declaring their allegiance to Christ. After enduring brutal tortures, they were condemned to death, embracing their martyrdom with joy.

O Holy Martyrs Nicandru and Marcian, pray to God for us, and inspire us with your holy courage!
