In Durostorum, Emilian, a courageous young man, shattered pagan idols during a festival. Arrested, he boldly confessed Christ, defying the judge's threats. When attempts to burn him failed, the flames miraculously spared him. Finally, he was beheaded. His unwavering faith transformed his execution into a testament of divine power, inspiring many.

Let us pray to #Emilian for steadfast courage and unwavering #Faith in our daily trials. May his sacrifice inspire us to live boldly for Christ. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr
