In the tumultuous 9th century, #GregoryTheDecapolit faced relentless persecution for defending icons against iconoclasts. He traveled tirelessly, preaching and strengthening the faithful. Once, while journeying, he encountered a band of robbers. Instead of fear, Gregory radiated divine peace, and the robbers, moved by his serenity and words, repented and became his followers.

Let us pray to St. Gregory, that he may intercede for us, that we may stand firm in faith amidst trials and tribulations.
