Saints Nicander and Marcian, Roman soldiers under Emperor Maximian, witnessed the unwavering faith of Christians facing torture and execution. Moved by their courage, they questioned their own beliefs. Secretly, they sought baptism from a priest named Erastos. Upon confessing their newfound faith, they were subjected to imprisonment, torture, and ultimately, martyrdom. They were buried alive for refusing to renounce Christ.

Let us beseech Saints Nicander and Marcian to intercede for us, that we may stand firm in our #Faith and witness to the truth of Christ in a world that denies Him. #Saints #Prayer #OrthodoxChristian #Martyrdom #Courage
