Martyr Nicander and Marcian, soldiers in the Roman army, witnessed the unwavering faith of Christians condemned to death. Moved by their courage and miracles, they converted, renouncing their military status. For their newfound belief, they faced brutal torture, enduring flaying and beatings. Unwavering, they sang hymns until their execution by the sword.
Lord, may their courage inspire us to stand firm in faith.
