On this day, let us remember Saints Donat and Venust, who, during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, stood firm in their faith. Donat, a bishop, and Venust, with unwavering courage, openly confessed Christ. They were arrested and subjected to cruel tortures, yet they remained steadfast, their spirits unbroken. They were ultimately drowned in a lake, achieving martyrdom.

O Saints Donat and Venust, pray to God for us, that we may have the strength to emulate your faith and courage. #Saints #Martyrs #OrthodoxChristian #Courage #Prayer
