Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, his disciple, spread the Gospel near the Danube. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring torture with unwavering resolve. Miracles occurred: prison doors opened, and angels comforted them. Finally, they were beheaded.

Holy Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, intercede for us, that we may remain steadfast in our faith and spread the Gospel through our actions.
