Venerable Gregory left his wealthy family to embrace monasticism, facing persecution for defending icon veneration. He traveled extensively, preaching against heresy and performing miracles, healing the sick and casting out demons. His life was a testament to unwavering faith and dedication to #Orthodoxy.

Let us pray to St. Gregory the Decapolite, that through his intercessions, we may be granted strength to defend the true faith and live according to God's will. #Saints #Prayer #Faith
