During the reign of Emperor Diocletian, Montanus, a priest, and Maxima, his wife, fearlessly confessed their faith in Christ. For refusing to deny their beliefs and offer sacrifice to idols, they endured brutal torture. Their bodies were lacerated with iron claws, and they were ultimately drowned at Singidunum (modern Belgrade). They remained steadfast, glorifying God even in their final moments.

Let us pray to Montanus and Maxima, that through their intercessions, we may be granted the strength to uphold our faith amidst trials and tribulations. #Martyrs #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Saints #Faith
