Venerable Onufrie of Vorona, born a simple peasant, felt a divine call early in life. He renounced worldly possessions to embrace monasticism. Known for extreme asceticism, he lived in solitude, dedicating himself to prayer and fasting. Many sought his guidance, drawn by his wisdom and humility. He established the Vorona Monastery, a sanctuary of spiritual enlightenment, becoming an example of unwavering faith.
Lord, through the prayers of Saint Onufrie, grant us strength to pursue a life dedicated to You!

Pasicrat and Valentin, brothers and soldiers, stood firm in their Christian faith when Emperor Maximian demanded they worship idols. Refusing to deny Christ, they were subjected to torture, yet their resolve remained unbroken. Miraculously healed after each torment, they converted many onlookers. Enraged, Maximian ordered their beheading. Even in death, their faith shone brightly, inspiring countless others to embrace Christianity.
Lord, by the prayers of #Martyrs Pasicrat and Valentin, strengthen our resolve to always stand for truth. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Courage #Faithful #BrothersInChrist
Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, his disciple, spread the Gospel near the Danube. Arrested for their faith, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring torture with unwavering resolve. Miracles occurred: prison doors opened, and angels comforted them. Finally, they were beheaded.
Holy Martyrs Epictetus and Astion, intercede for us, that we may remain steadfast in our faith and spread the Gospel through our actions.

Venerable Dometie lived a life of profound generosity. He gave away all his possessions to the poor, embracing poverty for Christ. One winter, he encountered a traveler freezing in the snow. Dometie, with nothing else to offer, gave him his own warm cloak. Later, Dometie found the cloak returned, filled with gold coins – a divine reward for his selfless act of mercy.
Holy Dometie, pray to #God for us, that we may also show compassion and generosity to those in need. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Mercy #Faith
