Martyrs Claudiu, Castor, Sempronian, and Nicostrat were skilled sculptors in Pannonia, commissioned to create a statue of Asclepius. Profoundly moved by the teachings of Christianity, they refused to carve the pagan idol, confessing their faith in Christ. Despite severe torture and attempts to dissuade them, they remained steadfast. Witnessing their unwavering devotion, Simplicius, another sculptor, joined them in their faith. All five were subsequently drowned in a river for their refusal to renounce Christ.

Let us pray to these holy martyrs, Claudiu, Castor, Sempronian, and Nicostrat, that their courage and faith inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs, always glorifying God through our actions. #Martyrs #Faith #OrthodoxChristian #Courage #Prayer
