Martyr Dassie, a Roman soldier, refused to participate in the pagan festival of Saturnalia. He declared himself a Christian and rejected the idolatrous celebrations, choosing instead to remain in prayer and fasting. For his defiance and unwavering faith, he was martyred by beheading. Let us pray for #Dassie's courage to inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs and resist the temptations of worldly pleasures. May his sacrifice strengthen our resolve to live according to God's will. #Saints #ChristianFaith #Martyr #PrayerRequest #OrthodoxChristian
