Hieromartyr Irineu, Bishop of Sirmium, staunchly confessed Christ during Emperor Maximian's persecution. When pressed to offer sacrifices to idols, he refused, declaring his allegiance to the one true God. Despite pleas from his family and threats from the authorities, Irineu remained steadfast. He was beheaded for his faith around 304 AD. His unwavering courage serves as an inspiration to stand firm in our beliefs.
Let us pray to #Irineu, asking him to intercede for us, that we too may have the strength to defend our faith. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Courage #Faith
